Sankhya [philosophy] … is the basis of the philosophy of the whole world. There is no philosophy in the world that is not indebted to Kapila.
Pythagoras came to India and studied this philosophy, and that was the beginning of the philosophy of the Greeks.
Later, it formed the Alexandrian school, and still later, the Gnostic.
It became divided into two; one part went to Europe and Alexandria, and the other remained in India; and out of this, the system of Vyasa was developed.
The Sankhya philosophy of Kapila was the first rational system that the world ever saw.
Every metaphysician in the world must pay homage to him.
I want to impress on your mind that we are bound to listen to him as the great father of philosophy.
