Guest guest Posted February 15, 2000 Report Share Posted February 15, 2000 According to my understanding Brahman manifests itself as the duality of PURUSHA and PRAKRITI. This duality is of the nature CAUSE - EFFECT. In my studies I have found this to be the most basic duality on which this universe rests. I do not think that this viewpoint contradicts what Ed has quoted from Avadhuta Gita. In response to Message: 12 Mon, 14 Feb 2000 18:03:29 -0800 EDTipple <edtipple Avadhuta Gita Chapter 2, Verse 9: Swami Chetanananda As water can be hot or cold or warm, and still be the same water, so also prakriti (matter) and Purusha (Spirit) it seems to me, are identical. Swami Ashokananda As pungency, coldness, or softness is non-different from water, so prakriti is nondifferent from purusha -- thus it appears to me.
