They do not accomplish the great end, which is absorption and escape from Maya, but they prepare the way for it by causing one to be born in a higher condition.
The second system of philosophy, the Sankhya of Kapila, is founded not on one principle, like the Vedanta, but on two.

According to the seventy aphorisms, Nature is one of these principles.

The other of the two principles, also uncreated and eternal, is Soul, or rather Souls.

Souls are many, passive, not creative, intelligent, and in all things the opposite to Nature.
