46 श्रीमद् भगवद्गीता Chapter 13 - Understanding THE SUPREME SELF in you-Part-04.

from Gita For Life · host Kamlesh Chandra

In the Bhagavad Gita, Prakriti and Purusha are important concepts from the ancient Indian philosophy of Samkhya.Prakrit is often translated as "nature" or "matter," and refers to the basic constituents of the material world. It is the source of all material existence, including the physical body and the senses. Prakrit is seen as being composed of three gunas, or qualities: sattva (purity), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance).Purusha, on the other hand, is often translated as "spirit" or "consciousness," and refers to the true self or soul. It is the unchanging, eternal aspect of the individual that transcends the material world. Purusha is pure and free from all the gunas of Prakriti.In the Bhagavad Gita, these two concepts are discussed in the morning session in context of the yoga of knowledge (Jnana yoga). The goal of this yoga is to gain an understanding of the true nature of the self, which is said to be identical with Purusha. Through this understanding, one can detach from the material world and achieve liberation from suffering.Support the showAll by the grace of Guru ji, Brahmleen Sant Samvit Somgiri Ji Maharaj.
