Sankhya
The organs merge into their causes, the gods (Adhidaivas); the gods into the mind which rules over all and the mind into Sattvika Ahamkara. Sound is withdrawn into Tamasic Ahamkara, and that powerful Ahamkara into Mahat; Mahat into the Gunas; the Gunas into the unmanifested Prakriti and Prakriti into Time (Kaala).
Time merges into Jiva, Jiva into Me, the birthless Atman. Atman is absolute and remains by Himself who is indicated by the creation and destruction of the universe and who is their substratum.
When these processes are meditated on, how can delusion implying difference rise in that mind or even if it arises, how could it stay in that mind which reflects in this way, just as darkness cannot stay on rise of the sun in the sky?
Here, I have thus explained to you the Sankhya system of philosophy in both ways i.e., the order of evolution (creation) and involution (dissolution or Pralaya), which cuts off the knot of doubt. I have explained to you in detail how the forces of nature work for creation and how they work back again for Pralaya or destruction. I am the witness of all things great and small.”
