PURUSHA AND PRAKRITI

[Guest guest]

Prakriti is the fundamental to any creation. Matter, energy, space

and time characterize the primary aspects of Prakriti. How Prakriti

comes into being may be described by the following example.

 

Let us consider the creation of a thought. When you create a thought,

you also consider simultaneously that that thought is separate from

you. Without this consideration of separation you would not be able

to view that thought. This consideration of separation is the basis

of space. Thus, space accompanies any creation. Without space there

cannot be the awareness of creation. The type of separation or

dimension describes space. There is €  '³thought€  '´ space, and then

there is more €  '³agreed upon€  '´ space, which is common to all of us in

this universe.

 

Again, when you create a thought, you also hold simultaneously the

consideration of change. Without this consideration of change you

would not be able to bring about the outcome of thought. This

consideration of change is the basis of time. Thus, time accompanies

any creation. Without time there cannot be any outcome or succession

of creation. The type of change, and the rate of change, describes

time. There is €  '³thought€  '´ time, and then there is more €  '³agreed

upon€  '´

time, which is common to all of us in this universe.

 

Again, when you create a thought, you also hold simultaneously the

consideration of motion. Without this consideration of motion you

would not be able to create the thought. This consideration of motion

is the basis of energy. Thus, energy accompanies any creation.

Without energy there cannot be any creation. The type of motion

describes energy. There is €  '³thought€  '´ energy, and then there

is more €  '³agreed upon€  '´ energy, which is common to all of us in

this universe.

 

And, finally, there is the thought itself, the outcome of creation.

Without this consideration of an outcome, or result, the process of

creation has no meaning. This consideration of outcome is the basis

of matter. Thus, matter accompanies any creation. Without matter

there is no meaning to creation. The type of outcome describes

matter. There is €  '³thought€  '´ matter, and then there is more

€  '³agreed upon€  '´ matter, which is common to all of us in this universe.

 

Thus, space, time, energy and matter accompany any creation. This is

PRAKRITI.

 

And PURUSHA is the source of the considerations of space, time,

energy and matter that make up the creation. It is that Cause aspect

of Brahman which is involved with creation.
