How can Sānkhya (understanding that all material things are perishable) be strengthened? The answer, “Observe that man dies and the body becomes old. Think of the nitya-pralay, nimitta-pralay and prākrut-pralay. And the means to perfecting Sānkhya and Yoga is this association with the great Sadhu.”
