The Renunciation of Kardama Muni
967
bestower of all the necessities of life upon the living entities. In the  Vedas  also it is stated that He is the chief living entity, and He bestows all the desired necessities of other living entities. Because He is the bestower of the necessities of all others, he is called God. The Supreme is also a living entity; He is not impersonal. As we are individual, so the Supreme Personality of Godhead is also individual—but He is the supreme individual. That is the difference between God and the ordinary living entities.

TRANSLATION
By mystic  yoga  and the practical application of knowledge from the scriptures, Kapila Muni, who is characterized by His golden hair, His eyes just like lotus petals, and His lotus feet, which bear the marks of lotus flowers, will uproot the deep-rooted desire for work in this material world.
PURPORT
In this verse the activities and bodily features of Kapila Muni are very nicely described. The activities of Kapila Muni are forecast herein: He will present the philosophy of  sāṅkhya  in such a way that by studying His philosophy people will be able to uproot the deep-rooted desire for  karma , fruitive activities. Everyone in this material world engages in achieving the fruits of his labor. A man tries to be happy by achieving the fruits of his own honest labor, but actually he becomes more and more entangled. One cannot get out of this entanglement unless he has perfect knowledge or devotional service.
