KR EVERYONE SPOKE THEIR MINDS AND CONCLUDED THAT WE MAY HAVE TO PAY A
HEAVY PRICE. NATURE @ PRAKRITI IS MATTER AS PURUSHA COEXISTING ALWAYS;
SHAPES MAY CHANGE; BUT CANNOT BE UPROOTED; OFCOURSE EVERY ACTION HAS AN
EFFECT OF A REACTION AND THUS WE AY HAVE TO ENDURE THE EFFECTS. HOWEVER THE
BAD CAUSES THE GRIEVANCES AND THE ULTIMATE SUFFERINGS ARE ALL, ENDURED BY
THE GOOD ALSO. BUT NATURE IS OMNIPOTENT AND OMNI-PRESENCE LIVING FOREVER.
WHERE THERE IS NO OCCUPANCY OF SPECIE, THERE THE GREENERY OCCUPIES THE
BLANKNESS.
Prakriti is a common term in Vedic thought, particularly in
Samkhya, Yoga and Ayurveda, but few people truly understand it. Let us
explore what Prakriti is and its deeper implications. What does the
Sanskrit term Prakriti actually mean? *Kriti refers to action. Pra refers
to what is prior or predominant*. The term Prakriti suggests the first
power of action or formation, the root process behind the universe.
Prakriti is said to be the origin of all manifestation as name, form,
quality, energy and action, like the great womb of nature. HENCE, PRAKRITI
WILL CHERISH BACK IN ANY FORM EVEN IF DESTRUCTION SO IMAGINED BY THE
HUMANAS ACAUSE; PRAKRITI REMAINS UNAFFECTED; BUT THE REMOVAL OF THE GUARDS,
PAVES THE WAY FOR THE ASSASSINATIONS.
Prakriti is the essence of all observable qualities in terms of
time, space and karma. It is the seed of all qualities, but has no specific
quality of its own. *As such, it is exceedingly subtle*. It is the essence
of all experience but itself indescribable. *To reach the level of Prakriti
is to reach the original force behind all creation. *Prakriti is usually
described and defined in contrast to the Purusha as part of a great cosmic
duality. Purusha refers to person or Self contrasted to Prakriti as
indicating the body or instrument of manifestation. Prakriti is most
commonly translated as Nature as opposed to Purusha or the Spirit.
Sometimes Prakriti is called matter as it is behind all material processes.
Often Prakriti is said to be feminine while Purusha is masculine. Yet
Prakriti as a creative force is only feminine in a metaphoric sense.
Similarly, Purusha as transcendent awareness is only masculine in a
metaphoric sense. Both biological male and female energies are
manifestations of Prakriti, which contains and transcends both. Purusha is
beyond any biological dualities and has its own Shakti or power of
seeing. Prakriti
is often contrasted to Purusha with Prakriti as unconscious and Purusha as
conscious. Prakriti then is identified with outer factors and Purusha with
our inner being. As not conscious in its own right, Prakriti functions
through the reflection of the consciousness of the Purusha that occurs
through the medium of the mind, Prakriti’s main power of manifestation. SO,
THE CONSCIOUSNESS IS PURUSHA ONLY AS SUN; PRAKRITI IS REFLECTING THAT
CONSCIOUSNESS LIKE A MOON. HENCE DESTRUCTION APPEARS AS NON-REFLECTIVE OF
THE CONSCIOUS EFFORTS. LET MOON WAX AND WANE YET, MOON IS GOING TO BE ONLY
A MOON.
Prakriti is said to be composite and Purusha as homogenous, with
Prakriti as the basis of the diversity and multiplicity of the outer world,
and Purusha as the basis of the unity and homogenous nature of
consciousness. Prakriti is said to be dependent and Purusha as independent,
with Prakriti not existing for itself but to fulfill the will of the
Purusha, yet with the Purusha having no instrument of expression apart from
Prakriti. The relationship between Purusha and Prakriti is sometimes said
to be that of the lame and the blind. Purusha has no power of action and so
is metaphorically lame or incapable of moving. Prakriti has no power of
knowledge and so is metaphorically blind. The combination of the two is
necessary for cosmic evolution. Yet while the Purusha can exist in its own
right apart from Prakriti as the transcendence consciousness, Prakriti
cannot function apart from the Purusha.
Bg. 4.6 अजोऽपि सन्नव्ययात्मा भूतानामीश्वरोऽपि सन् ।
प्रकृतिं स्वामधिष्ठाय सम्भवाम्यात्ममायया ॥ ६ ॥4
ajo ’pi sann avyayātmā bhūtānām īśvaro ’pi san
prakṛtiṁ svām adhiṣṭhāya sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā
Although I am unborn and My transcendental body never deteriorates, and
although I am the Lord of all living entities, by My internal energy I
still appear in every millennium in My original transcendental form. {KR
IT MEANS PURUSHA IS UNCHANGED BUT PRAKRITI IS NOT SO}
Bg. 7.4 भूमिरापोऽनलो वायु: खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च ।
अहङ्कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा ॥ ४ ॥7
bhūmir āpo ’nalo vāyuḥ khaṁ mano buddhir eva ca
ahaṅkāra itīyaṁ me bhinnā prakṛtir aṣṭadhā
Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego – all
together these eight constitute My separated material energies.[KR KRISHNA
SAYS PRAKRITI HAS THESE 8 GUNAS AS HIS SO DEFINITION OF PRAKRITI}
Bg. 7.5 अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम् ।
जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत् ॥ ५ ॥
apareyam itas tv anyāṁ prakṛtiṁ viddhi me parām
jīva-bhūtāṁ mahā-bāho yayedaṁ dhāryate jagat
Besides these, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is another, superior energy of
Mine, which comprises the living entities who are exploiting the resources
of this material, inferior nature.{KR ONE MAY WONDER WHY I AM SUPPORTING
THE KILLING OF THE NATURE INSPITE OF NEGATIVE EFFECTS, BECAUSE KRISHNA SAYS
THA PRAKRITI IS INFERIOR ENERGY WHILE LIVING BEING MOVING AROUND ARE ALL,
SUPERIOR TO PRAKRITI; IT IS A WONDER-STRUCK STATEMENT BY KRISHNA; BUT
KRISHNA IS IN ALL THE LIVING BEINGS AND IN PRAKRATEMENT SHOWS THAT KRISHNA
IS WILLING TO FORGIVE THE DESTROYER AS HE ONLY SAYS “IF SURRENDERED, HE
WILL TAKE OFF THE SPECIE FROM ALL THE SANCHITA AND THE PRARABTHA KARMA AS
SO SAID INFERIOR ENERGY THE NATURE IS IMMORTAL WHEREAS SPECIE IS MORTAL.}
Why are the Concepts of Purusha and Prakriti so Hard for People to
Understand Today? Purusha and Prakriti like many Vedic concepts reflect a
very different worldview than what we have today. They are the product of
an era in which people lived close to nature but also cultivated a higher
consciousness beyond the outer world. Today we are very much immersed in
the material world and striving to uncover its complexities. We have lost
our connections with nature and with the spirit as well. We have little
sense of any transcendent Self or Purusha and are often trapped in our own
self-image. The distinction between Purusha and Prakriti means that you are
not your body or your mind, which are your instruments and follow natural
processes of their own. You are pure consciousness beyond body and mind,
beyond time, space and karma. We must detach and disidentify with Prakriti
as body, mind and external world, which is to return to the Purusha or
consciousness principle as our true nature. Prakriti as process based
natural intelligence is not personal. You must learn to honor the movement
of nature within you. At the same time, you must realize that your inner
being exists at a higher level and cannot be limited to any process or
activity in the outer world or in your own mind. Honor Prakriti, be the
Purusha! Both always go together!
