Chapter – 287-  Sur -Vinaya – Pathrika –Sankhya Philosophy/Karma Yoga, Gnana Yoga, and Bhakthi Yoga - The conclusion of the Kapilopadhesham/conversation between Devi Devahoothi and Sage Kapila


Sage Kapila speaks “Oh! Mother, if the devotee is Sakama/yearning for Purusharththa, he would achieve that with the gradual practice of devotion, these devotees achieve the Bhramaloka, and at the end of Mahapralaya/deluge, they will attain the supreme abode of Lord Sri Hari. The Nishkama Bhakth/liberated souls need not wait too long, they immediately attain the supreme abode and will not fall into the cycles of birth and death. Oh! Mother, I shall describe the three types of devotion that would provide the supreme abode of Lord Sri Hari, listen to me carefully.

1) Karma Yoga – The Karmayogi sincerely follows Dharma, the religious and spiritual rites, Varnna and Ashrama Dharma, with the practice of Nishkama Bhakthi /practice of devotion without any desire to achieve worldly matters, would attain my supreme abode.


2) Bhakthi Yoga – The Bhakthiyogi sing in praise of the glories of Lord Sri Hari, with the constant remembrance of the Lord, conducts the worship of the Lord, and eventually attains the abode of Lord Sri Hari.


3) Gnana Yoga – The Gnana Yogi with the knowledge of self/Paramarththa Thaththva/The absolute truth -Oneness in All, considers all the living and non-living things as the Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhram/Lord Sri Hari, and spread love and kindness, ultimately attain the supreme abode.


Sage Kapila concluded “Oh! Mother, all my devotees with the gradual practice of devotion attain the abode of Sri Vaikundam. Whoever listens, or recites the conversation between you and me in the Kali era would attain the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari.”

Devi Devahoothi prostrated before Sage Kapila and spoke “Oh! Prabho, previously I was ignorant and considered you as my son, but now I have understood that you are Sacchidhanandha Swaroopa Paramathma Parambhram/Eshwar. I have achieved the supreme wisdom with your grace and my ignorance has disappeared, and the grief as well.” Later Devi Devahoothi proceeded to the wood and conducted extreme penance contemplating upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari, and left the mortal coil.”


Sage Shukadeva speaks to King Pareekshith “Oh! Rajan, I have retold the conversation between Sage Kapila and Devi Devahoothi, which was known as Sankhyopadhesha. Whoever reads and listens to the marvelous Sankhya Philosophy, and contemplates, and meditates upon the lotus feet of Lord Sri Hari would achieve the abode of the Supreme Lord.”
