Without learning the teachings of Sānkhya,1 faults such as greed, lust, taste, attachment and ego, and the three miseries – due to adhyātma, adhibhut and adhidaiv2 – cannot be removed. Without Sānkhya, satsang is said to be only half complete. Thus, to remain happy learn the principles of Sānkhya. Footnotes: 1. 1. Sānkhya – to realize that the body, the world and all worldly pleasures are perishable. And to believe the ātmā and Paramātmā to be permanent and focus the mind on it. 2. Adhyātma – miseries of the mind. Adhibhut – physical illnesses, miseries. Adhidaiv – floods, famines, earthquakes, plagues and other natural disasters.
