Kapila-gita is an ancient Sanskrit teaching attributed to the sage Kapila, traditionally regarded as the founder of the Sāṃkhya system. Preserved in classical sources (notably passages in the Bhagavata Purana and other Puranic and commentarial traditions), it appears as a concise dialogue—often Kapila instructing his disciple or mother—setting out Sāṃkhya cosmology and praxis. Key themes are the distinction of puruṣa (consciousness) and prakṛti (primordial nature), the evolution of the manifest world, discriminative knowledge (buddhi), ethical detachment, and the means to liberation (kaivalya). Today the Kapila-gita remains relevant as a timeless map of mind and matter, offering philosophical clarity for meditational practice, psychological insight, and ethical living in a distracted world.
