Sankhya

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 18

Knowledge, action, and the doer are each threefold according to the gunas—now hear this classification properly.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

Two paths, one freedom—whether through the clear seeing of Sankhya or the skillful action of Yoga, the goal is liberation from karma's chains.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 5

The childish argue over paths while the wise see that one road deeply traveled reaches both destinations.

Sikh History/Tradition

After blessing Bhai Kanhaiya for his impartial service on the battlefield, Guru Gobind Singh asked him to establish the Sevapanthi order dedicated to humanitarian service. This order, founded over 100 years before the Red Cross, institutionalized serving all humans without discrimination.

Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapters 19-25

Rupa and Sanatana Goswami, former ministers to the Muslim sultan, met Chaitanya and received His mercy. The Lord instructed them to go to Vrindavan with a fourfold mission: uncover lost holy sites, install Deities, write books on devotional science, and teach devotional practices.

Janaka & Ashtavakra

When recognition dawns, even the abandonment of the world is seen as unnecessary—the world itself is the Self appearing. The seeker, the seeking, and the sought are revealed as one undivided awareness, and the journey is seen to have never happened.

Rama & Vasishtha

Disenchantment with worldly life (vairagya) is not depression but the awakening of discrimination. The one who questions the dream is beginning to wake up. This existential despair, when properly directed, becomes the first step toward liberation.
