Question

What is the remedy (upāya) for abolition of sufferings according to Patanjali?
(A) Samādhi
(B) Dhyāna
(C) Kriya-yoga
(D) Viveka-khyāti

Answer 1

The Correct Option is...

✔ (D) Viveka-khyāti

Explanation :

Viveka-khyāti is the remedy (upāya) for the abolition of suffering according to Patanjali.

In Patanjali's Sankhya, eternal liberation from material life will be achieved only because of Viveka.

Upvarga can be achieved by the discrepancy between the developed, the unbroken and the knower. The knowledge of the avyakt can be obtained through the knowledge of the expressed and through this the existence of the soul is inferred, i.e., the discursive knowledge i.e. Vivek-Khyati ultimately arises from the cognition of the nature of the soul.

Answer 2

Answer:

Concept:

The idea of employing biotechnology to permanently eliminate pain and suffering in all sentient creatures is known as the eradication or elimination of misery. The discursive knowledge, or Vivek-Khyati, ultimately derives from the comprehension of the nature of the soul. The comprehension of the expression enables the acquisition of the knowledge of the avyakt, and this allows for the inference of the presence of the soul.

Explanation:

• According to Patanjali, viveka-khyti is the medicine (upya) for the cessation of pain.
• According to Patanjali's Sankhya, Viveka alone will bring about ultimate escape from the material world.
• The difference between the developed, the unbroken, and the knowledgeable can lead to upvarga.
• The idea of eliminating pain and suffering entirely from all sentient creatures via the use of biotechnology is known as the eradication or elimination of misery.
• The understanding of the expression allows for the acquisition of the knowledge of the avyakt, and this allows for the inference of the presence of the soul; hence, the discursive knowledge, or Vivek-Khyati, finally results from the understanding of the nature of the soul.
