The Theory of Well-Being in Sāṃkhya Philosophy Divya Chowdhury, Research Scholar, The University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
Wellbeing refers to a state or condition where an individual can reside in his or her own life in a happy, content, satisfied, and joyful manner. In general terms, this state of happiness or contentment depends on a healthy and joyful environment from all physical, mental, emotional, social, economic, and environmental conditions within each individual's life. While well-being typically denotes mental peace and contentment, it is also important to understand that mental wellbeing or peace cannot be achieved independently from physical or external social conditions, as our mental and physical well-being plays a significant role in responding to all these matters. The Samkhya Philosophy affirms that suffering is perpetuated by the quality of passion and is perpetual in nature; therefore, it cannot be destroyed. However, the experience of suffering is indeed possible and will lead to a transformation into suffering. The attainment of this supreme knowledge will aid in achieving an eternal state of joy and peaceful wellbeing, where suffering will no longer be the cause of unhappiness or ill-being, and individuals will always be situated in the desired state of eternal joy and peaceful wellbeing. | ||
