instruments of salvation. The only way is direct and definitive. to the Samkhya,<br />

metaphysical knowledge (S. Sutra, III, 23).<br />

The cognitive process is naturally made by the intellectual-to, but this is a highly evolved<br />

form of "matter". ^ How, then, is it possible for the liberation (mukti) is done by creat-ing<br />

collaboration of prakrti? The Samkhya answers with the teleological argument: the matter<br />

(prakriti) acts instinctively towards the release of the "soul" (purusha). The intellect (buddhi),<br />

being the most perfect manifestation of prakriti easier, thanks to its dynamic<br />

potential, the release process, serving as a preliminary to the revelation stair. Yoga takes<br />

exactly the same position (Yoga-Sutra, II, 18, etc..) Prakrti makes the experience<br />

possible, while pursuing the release of the Self. When mind is co-Sutra, Vyasa adds an<br />

important caveat: in fact, he says, slavery is not simply the location of intelligence<br />

(buddhi) when the final goal has not yet been reached, and the release is nothing that the<br />

state in which this goal has been conquered.<br />

In the next chapter we will see through that psycho-physiological techniques can,<br />

according to Yoga, achieving this goal. For the Samkhya, the release is obtained almost<br />

automatically when the intelligence (buddhi) leads man to the threshold of "deawakening".<br />

When this revelation has already been done, the intellect, as well as other<br />

psycho-mental elements (therefore, materials) that are wrongly attributed to purusha, are<br />

withdrawn, de-pledge of the Spirit to be reabsorbed into the prakriti, similar in this a<br />

with the possession of true knowledge. Mathar commentator proclaims that you can eat<br />

meat, drink wine and make love, and all those sins are abolished by knowledge of the<br />

doctrine of Kapila (ie by Samkhya). Later we will discuss the spiritual implications of<br />

tra, III, 69). "Nothing is as sensitive as prakriti, from the mo-ment that states:" I am<br />

recognized "and not shown to the eyes of the Spirit" (Karika, 61). It is the state of the<br />

"liberated in life" (Jivanmukta): the scientist is still alive, because it must consume the<br />

karmic residue that still fits (such as the potter's wheel continues to roll because of the<br />

speed gained, but the pot is finished and ; Karika, 67 Sam.-Sutra, III, 82). But in the moment<br />

of death, as it leaves the body, this com-pletely purusa "liberated" (Karika, 68).<br />

ICOM is possible the liberation?<br />

In fact, the Samkhya-Yoga has realized that the "spirit (pu-Russian) can not be born nor<br />

destroyed, that is neither slave nor active (actively seeking the release) is not thirsty for<br />

freedom or release" ( Gaudapada, Mandukhya-Karika, II, 32). "His form is such that<br />

these two possibilities are excluded" (Samkhya-Sutra, I, 160). The Self is pure, eternal<br />

and free, no vassal could be because they could maintain relations with anything other<br />

than the mismo.6 But the man believed to purusa this slave-dents and thinks she might be<br />

released. Are these illusions of our psycho-mental life. Because, in fact, the spirit<br />

"enslaved" is free from all eternity. If your release seems to us a drama, it is because we<br />

put ourselves in a human point of view: the spirit is a "spectator" (Saksina), as well as the<br />

liberation (mukti) is the knowledge of their eternal freedom. I believe suffering, I believe
