Samkhya

Hindu philosophy of discrimination between matter and spirit taught in the Upanishads. One of the six orthodox doctrines of Hindu philosophy, Samkhya describes the universe as two forms, prakriti (nature) and purusha (the individual spirit). Matter is divided into 25 elements, beginning with earth, water, fire, air, and space. The 25th element is time. Samkhya seeks that which is beyond these 25 elements, namely pure spirit.
