Detailed explanation-1: -As in Samkhya, the self is distinguished from the mind (chitta): the mind is viewed as an object, an aggregate. This argument is used to prove the existence of a self other than the mind. The mental state is not self-intimating; it is known in introspection. It cannot know both itself and its object.
Detailed explanation-2: -Samkhya, (Sanskrit: “Enumeration” or “Number”) also spelled Sankhya, one of the six systems (darshans) of Indian philosophy. Samkhya adopts a consistent dualism of matter (prakriti) and the eternal spirit (purusha).
Detailed explanation-3: -One of the key differences between Samkhya Philosophy and Advaita Vedanta is that they accept both Nirguna Brahman and Saguna Brahman. Prakriti is the physical world and links to the cosmic energy or shakti, which is the feminine side of Brahman.
Detailed explanation-4: -The highest of the three is sattva (essence), the principle of light, goodness and intelligence. Rajas (dust) is the principle of change, energy and passion, while tamas (darkness) appears as inactivity, dullness, heaviness and despair.
