There are several important differences between the teaching of the Samkhya system of religious thought (Samkhya Darsana) and the Samkhya of Bhagavata Purana, although Kapila is celebrated as the founder of both. According to the teaching of kapila in Bhagavata Purana, there is one purusha that appears as many purushas due to ignorance. According to Samkhya, however, the many purushas do not dissolve in a higher principle (tattva), but are ultimately real. Another difference is that Kapila in Bhagavata Purana teaches that purusha and prakriti are persona principles. The enumeration of the principles is also different in the two systems. According to Samkhya, there are 25 principles – purusha, prakriti and 23 manifest principles. In Bhagavata Purana, according to Kapila, there are 28 principles – 24 manifest principles, prakriti, time, purusha and God. Samkhya considers the inner instrument as constituted by manas (mind), ahamkara (egoity) and buddhi (intellect). Kapila in Bhagava

Religion is unsparing in its denunciation of greed. Avarice obstructs spiritual growth as it is an offspring of the three gunas. Redemption consists in the individual self’s transcendence of the gunas, its eschewal of the sense of duality, its release from the fetters of the impulse to acquire and preserve, its anchorage in purity and its peaceful abidance in the Self. This is what Sri Krishna means when he says, ‘The Vedas deal with the three gunas. O Arjuna, be free from these three gunas, from the pairs of opposites.
