Namasthe- Purusha and Prakruthi

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

 

 

We all know the story of the churning of the milky ocean and the arrival of Dhanwanthara murthy with the Amrutha kumbham or the pot with the nectar of immortality. After that Bhagavaan assumed the form of a beautiful maiden called Mohini to divide the amrutham or nectar of immortality so that it would be given to only people who deserve.

 

When Devendra saw Mohini, he asked : " Are you really a woman or a man disguised as a woman?

 

Bhagavaan answered this question revealing the greatest truth about Himself:

 

Both Prakruthi and Purushan are one and the same exactly the same way how golden ornament and the gold in it are the same. Can you separate the ornament like a golden bangle from the Gold it is made of ? There is no bangle with out the gold. They cannot be separated. Gold is manifested in the form of a bangle. Similarly, Prakruthi and Purusha are inseparable. They are eternal truths. Whole Universe is Prakruthi filled with Purusha or whole universe is Purusha followed by Prakruthi.  

 

Before the gold was made to an ornament, when it is in the form of an ornament and when the ornament looses it's form by any treatment of heat or force, gold exists. This means that in the three states (corresponding to past present and future) of the ornament the truth is the existence of gold. In the same way, manifested world that we see is the Prakruthi and what remains when the manifested world disappears or what remains after the great dissolution is Purusha. Purusha is there before the Prakruthi was manifested, He is there in the present with Prakruthi in the causal form and will be there when universe, the manifested form disappears.

 

Pakruthi: Purushaschethi nithyau thau yanmayam jagath

na kadaapi viyukthau dwau suvarna aabharane yathha.
