Educational Q&A

Supreme liberation (mokṣa) is imparted to a qualified seeker who approaches with humility and in accordance with dharma; the verse points to Sāṅkhya as a recognized framework for articulating that liberating knowledge.

A virtuous person approaches a sage with respectful prostration, demonstrating readiness and right conduct; recognizing this fitness, the sage responds by teaching the doctrine of the highest mokṣa as described in the Sāṅkhya tradition.
