Yoga and Total Health – May 2017

(singke) #1

The idea that has to be strengthened is that of God as the creator. Though because
of the Samkhya system, the Purusha and Prakriti concepts were very strong, Purusha
was the spirit, which is pure consciousness and is aloof. Purusha did not depend on
anything. Each individual was Purusha. This Purusha was not a creation of God.
The other concept was of Prakriti, which is was the source of this entire universe.
Every single material object, including the human being is a product of Prakriti.
Consciousness associates with the material body and so the human being. This was
the theory of Samkhya, but the Gita has converted it. As per the Gita, God is the
creator of both Purusha and Prakriti. So naturally everything comes from God and
returns back to Him.

Know that these (two Prakritis) are the womb of all beings.
So I am the source and dissolution of the whole universe.
