Sri Aurobindo

[Guest guest]

This Supreme Prakriti is not merely a presence of the power of

spiritual being immanent in cosmic activities. For then it might be

only the inactive presence of the all-pervading Self, immanent in all

things or containing them, compelling in a way the world action but

not itself active. Nor is this highest Prakrakriti the avyakta of the

eightfold nature of things, the one productive original force of

Prakriti out of which her many instrumental and executive powers

evolve. Nor is it sufficient to interpret that idea of avyakta in the

Vedantic sense and say that this supreme Nature is the power involved

and inherent in unmanifest Spirit or Self out of which cosmos comes

and into which it returns.
