Sānkhya is one of the six classical schools of Indian philosophy. It involves analytical reasoning and the discrimination between the eternal (Purusha - consciousness) and the non-eternal (Prakriti - nature). In the context of the Gita, Sānkhya refers to the knowledge of the nature of reality, the self, and the distinction between the body and the soul. It involves understanding the fundamental principles of existence.
