Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive exploration of the structure of suffering and the quest for liberation within the context of Eastern philosophy. Drawing from the profound insights of Samkhya and Yoga traditions, it investigates the intricate subject-object duality, highlighting the five fundamental causes of suffering (Pancha Klesha) that intertwine and perpetuate restlessness and unfulfilled desires. The paper further elucidates the concept of “enstasy” as a path to liberation, offering moments of profound detachment and unity with intrinsic truth. Ultimately, it emphasizes that the eternal quest for meaning is a deeply personal journey, guided by Eastern wisdom, to uncover profound meaning within the depths of human consciousness.
