اے کاشیپ! جب سالک روز بہ روز نہایت یکسوئی کے ساتھ پرماتما کے حقیقی سوروپ کا مسلسل دھیان کرتا ہے، تب وہ پرکرتی کے تعلق سے پاک ہو کر ‘کیولی’ بن جاتا ہے اور چھبیسویں تتّو—پرمیشر—کا براہِ راست ادراک کر لیتا ہے۔

Educational Q&A

Persistent, daily contemplation of the Supreme Self leads to detachment from Prakṛti and culminates in direct realization of the transcendent ‘twenty-sixth’ principle—God/the Supreme beyond the standard Sāṅkhya enumeration.

In a didactic exchange, the sage Yājñavalkya instructs Kāśyapa about the inner discipline of continuous contemplation and its fruit: freedom from Prakṛti’s entanglement and realization of the highest reality.
