Detailed explanation-1: -Samkhya is the oldest of the orthodox philosophical schools, and it holds that everything, in reality, is derived from Purusha (self, soul, or intellect) and Prakriti (matter, creative agency, energy).
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sāṁkhya Philosophy is regarded as dualistic realism. It is dualistic because it holds the doctrine of two ultimate realities; Prakṛti and Purusas. Further, it maintains the plurality of Purusas (self) and the existence of matter, hence, treated as pluralistic.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Samkhya philosophy, a guṇa is one of three “attributes, tendencies, qualities": sattva, rajas and tamas. This category of guṇas has been widely adopted by various schools of Hinduism for categorizing behavior and natural phenomena.
