Did You Know?
In Samkhya philosophy, Buddhi is the very first product of creation — the cosmic intellect that emerges from primordial nature (Prakriti). It is the faculty of discrimination that allows consciousness to distinguish between the real and unreal. Chess in India is called "Buddhi-yuddha" (battle of intellects) for the same root.
