PURUSHA AND PRAKRITI

[Guest guest]

Purusha and Prakriti symbolize the duality of the Creator and the

Creation. This is the prime duality in which Brahman appears.

 

=============================================

PURUSHA: The CREATOR principle

=============================================

 

Purusha is that aspect of Brahman, which is creating existence out of

non-existence.

 

Purusha is the source of all considerations that underlie creation.

It is the source of all principles that define the physical universe,

such as, the laws of conservation of energy and matter.

 

 

=============================================

PRAKRITI: The CREATION principle

=============================================

 

Prakriti constitutes the considerations of matter, energy, space and

time that underlie all creation.

 

The FORM of what is created constitutes the matter aspect of

Prakriti. An example of this would be the thought that appears out of

no where as a divine inspiration.

 

The MOTION that finally solidifies into a form constitutes the energy

aspect of Prakriti. An example of this would be the process by which

that thought comes into being.

 

The DIMENSIONS in which the form exists constitutes the space aspect

of Prakriti. An example of this would be the dimensions in which the

thought exists and which give the thought its form.

 

The CHANGES when the creation occurs constitutes the time aspect of

Prakriti. An example of this would be the alterations involved in the

creation of the thought.

 

Thus, PRAKRITI is the matter, energy, space, and time aspects of any

creation
