Prophets old and new

[Guest guest]

It is interesting to compare the spiritual teachings of various prophets

from different ages. One of the most ancient prophets of India is Sage

Kapila. He is perhaps the first one to make a clear distinction between

'spirit' and 'matter'. He used the word 'Purusha' which later evolved into

the idea of the 'Self' as being distinct from the rest of 'Nature' or

'Prakriti' - the term he used. This was perhaps the first major step in the

evolution of spiritual ideas.
