In my studies so far I have found the Sāmkhya foundation (in simple terms obviously..) a really useful tool I go back to again and again in so many contexts...no wonder it is the foundation of what is to come; and oh yes, the binding influence of action, a tough one that one, and I will take all the help the text offers
I am also wondering...now the section on Sāmkhya is finished, are we entering a section of awareness - in the sense of hearing / seeing, all the ways that will be described to loosen the binding influence of action and suffering / obstacles? Because I realise that Sāmkhya is a map, I am sure it's more than that, but for now, and a map is not enough, we need to get in the driving seat and use it..
