Re: How do you perceive Brahman in "materials?" [Re: VJR] #15300 - 04/25/02 02:45 AM Edit Reply Quote

Haha, I have VJR. Let me again put it in these words: 1. Purusha doesn't need Prakrti to be, it is. It is pure consciousness. 2. J�v�tman needs both, because it is both. 3. Prakrti doesn't need Purusha to be. As we all know Prakrti is the 'mother' of the material world. So you don't have to look for Purusha in Prakrti. Prakrti itself is full of Brahman-information. And Prakrti is traigun�tmika: in a very simplistic way protons may be more r�jasika, electrons more t�masika and neutrons more s�ttvika. (Maybe someone with knowledge about atoms could give a better division). About feminity Prakrti only relates towards Purusha as a more female principle in our realative understanding. Homosexuals are not more Prakrtika. We human beings are Prakrtika physically. So Prakrti is both masculinity and feminity! Prakrti is the potential gender-determining cause. In that capacity she is feminine in our understanding, compared to Purusha, which doesn't materialize. Aumk�ra is the very N�da of Brahman which trembles in everything that is caused. Some do harmonize some don't, but everything has in its core N�da.
