Compare Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, Vedanta and later schools on their own terms.
01
TEXTUAL ANCHOR
Begin with a traceable source
Classical darshana primary texts and commentaries. The source is an anchor for study, not a claim that this modern guide is a verbatim passage or the only valid interpretation.
For each school record its sources of knowledge, view of self and world, bondage, liberation and method; compare only after understanding.
03
DISCERNMENT
Keep the practice humane
Do not collapse diverse schools into one slogan or present one lineage as neutral consensus.
04
REFLECTION
A question to carry
Which question does each school answer differently?
Answer with one observable example. Spiritual maturity is better tested through truthfulness, steadiness, compassion, repair and useful action than through claims of status.
