SAINCARA AND PRANAH (PART I)

The centrifugal activity of the Macrocosmic Nucleous is known as saincara. Hence this Nucleus or Purusottama is the witnessing counterpart of the objective macrocosm. Purusa or Citishakti is pure counciousness; hence its activation without the presence of a second principle is impossible. Action results only when Prakrti, the inherent tendency of the transcendental Purusa, gets scope of expression.

The two factors, Purusha and Prakrti, though dual in theory, are singular in sprit. Their collective body is just like that of fire. One cannot think of fire without its special thermal value; in the same way one cannot think of Purusha without Prakrti in the collective body of Brahma. Prakrti may be defined as an attribute of Purusa. Where there is no expressed activity of Prakrti, that is , where activity appears to be in a dormant stage, Purusha remains objectless or nirguna.
