In Hinduism
Samkhya (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (samkhya philosophy)Ubhayarahita (उभयरहित) refers to “being free of both (happiness and sorrow)”, according to Vācaspatimiśra’s commentary on Sāṅkhyakārikā (Kārikā 19).—Accordingly, [while equating udāsīna with neutrality—mādhyasthya]: “Therefore, because the three Guṇasare absent, neutrality [is mentioned]. A happy person who is satisfied with happiness and a sad person who detests sorrow are not neutral. Thus, one who is neutral is free of [happiness and sorrow] (ubhayarahita) and he is also called udāsīna”.
Samkhya (सांख्य, Sāṃkhya) is a dualistic school of Hindu philosophy (astika) and is closeley related to the Yoga school. Samkhya philosophy accepts three pramanas (‘proofs’) only as valid means of gaining knowledge. Another important concept is their theory of evolution, revolving around prakriti (matter) and purusha (consciousness).
