Technology of the Heart: Purusha and Prakriti within the Grand Self and individual self:
In the eastern traditions, especially in ancient India, the two terms Purusha and Prakriti are used to define two important aspects of the Reality.
Purusha is unmanifested, formless, passive, beyond attributes, beyond cause and effect, space and time. Purusha in highest sense, is Pure Essence.
Prakriti is the creative force of action, the source of form, manifestation, attributes and nature. Three modes or aspects of Prakriti are: Rajas: activity, Tamas: inertia, Sattva: rhythm, balance.
Purusha, spirit, is eternal, and Prakriti, matter, is co-eternal with spirit. Purusha and Prakriti are inseparable and are inherent in the manifested universe.
