[Ch. 2]
here as  sāṅkhya , in terms of the  Nirukti  dictionary. This  sāṅkhya  has nothing to do with the  sāṅkhya  philosophy of the atheist Kapila. Long before the imposter Kapila’s  sāṅkhya , the  sāṅkhya  philosophy was expounded in the  Śrimad-Bhāgavatam  by the true Lord Kapila, the incarnation of Lord Kṛṣṇa, who explained it to His mother, Devahūti. It is clearly explained by Him that the  Puruṣa , or the Supreme Lord, is active and that He creates by looking over the  prakṛti . This is accepted in the  Vedas  and in the  Gītā . The description in the  Vedas  indicates that the Lord glanced over the  prakṛti , or nature, and impregnated it with atomic individuals souls. All these individuals are working in the material world for sense gratification, and under the spell of material energy they are thinking of being enjoyers. This mentality is dragged to the last point of liberation when the living entity wants to become one with the Lord. This is the last snare of  māyā  or sense gratificatory illusion, and it is only after many, many births of such sense gratificatory activities that a great soul surrenders unto Vāsudeva, Lord Kṛṣṇa, thereby fulfilling the search after the ultimate truth.
Arjuna has already accepted Kṛṣṇa as his spiritual master by surrendering himself unto Him:  śiṣyas te ‘ham śādhi mām tvām prapannam . Consequently, Kṛṣṇa will now tell him about the working process in  buddhi-yoga , or  karma-yoga , or in other words, the practice of devotional service only for the sense gratification of the Lord. This  buddhi-yoga  is clearly explained in Chapter Ten, verse ten, as being direct communion with the Lord, who is sitting as Paramātmā in everyone’s heart. But such communion does not take place without devotional service. One who is therefore situated in devotional or transcendental loving service to the Lord, or, in other words, in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, attains to this stage of  buddhi-yoga  by the special grace of the Lord. The Lord says, therefore, that only to those who are always engaged in devotional service out of transcendental love does He award the pure knowledge of devotion in love. In that way the devotee can reach Him easily in the ever-blissful kingdom of God.
Thus the  buddhi-yoga  mentioned in this verse is the devotional service of the Lord, and the word  sāṅkhya  mentioned herein has nothing to do with the atheistic  sāṅkhya-yoga  enunciated by the impostor Kapila. One should not, therefore, misunderstand that the  sāṅkhya-yoga  mentioned herein has any connection with the atheistic  sāṅkhya . Nor did that philosophy have any influence during that time; nor would Lord Kṛṣṇa care to mention such godless philosophical speculations. Real  sāṅkhya  philosophy is described by Lord Kapila in the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , but even that
