Bhagavan Kapila, who gave humanity the Wisdom of Nature, Sankhya Sastra, one of the six main sciences of Indian Philosopy. He postulated that there are two components of the Ultimate, Purusha and Prakrithi. We are in the state of Prakrithi and we have to transcend to the level of the Eternal Purushua.
Kapila was an incarnation of the Lord. The Lord revealed the mysteries of the Universe to His Mother, Devahoothi.
Prakrithi mahad ahamkara tan matra bhooyan
Hridi dasapi dasakshee purusha Pancha vimsa
Ithi vividha vibhogo muchyathe sau prakrithya
Kapila thanu riththvam deva hootyai nyagadi
Nature, Cosmic Mind, Ego, the Five Subtle Essences, the Five Elements, Heart, the five organs of perceptions and the five organs of action - all these are the 24 principles of the Universe. This is Nature Almighty, Prakrithi in action.
Transcending these 24 principles is the Mighty Purusha, the 25th Principle and the Ultimate Principle.
He who knows all these 25 principles, he will be liberated eternally!
So Thou, in Thy incarnation as Bhagavan Kapila, revealed to Thy mother, Devahoothi !
