Okay then. We have had almost every aspect, but one: Saguna Purusha = Consciousness within the Pravrtti. Jiivatman and Prakrti have their modifications from the very subtlest to the most solid physical. That is agreed upon. What would be the case with Purusha? Am I right that it must be (pure) knowledge-thoughts-feelings that is freely available, but out of which Jiivatman 'enjoys and makes his own' only a small part at every Pravrtti/Nivrtti stage due to the limiteness of the Prakrtic part? Jiivatman would then be like a child enjoying a selection of Prakritic (material) and Purushic (immaterial) toys.
