Who can explain the science of prakruti (the non-self
or the relative-self or the body-complex) completely? The one
who has become ‘Purush’, the pure Soul and is constantly the
‘seer’ of the non-self. Such a One can understand the science
of ‘prakruti’ and explain it. How can those, who are immersed
in the prakruti (in the relative-self) themselves; those who have
not awakened as a Purush (the real Self), know or explain the
prakruti? That can only be done by the Gnani Purush. There are
infinite souls and infinite prakrutis and unless one becomes the
Purush, he is constantly dancing to the tune of the prakruti, i.e.
he is just a puppet on a string pulled by prakruti.
In the Kramic path, the prakruti becomes natural in a
step-by-step process and then in the end the natural Soul i.e. the
natural Self is attained. In the Akram path however, the Gnani
Purush directly brings the soul in its natural form and after that,
the prakruti (the relative-self) is to be brought in its natural state.
How can the relative self become natural? The answer is,
whenever the pending ‘files’ (pending karmic accounts) of the
relative self are settled with equanimity, there is liberation, hence
what remains in the end is the relative self in its natural form.
‘There is no decree forbidding one to attain moksha, only
that he has to realize his own Self. Some may have an inclination
towards renouncing, others may have a temperament for
penance, yet others may be in the habit of enjoying sensual
pleasures; whatever the case may be, in order to attain moksha,
one only has to let the prakruti dissolve naturally.’
‘The body complex (the prakruti) is characterized by
puran-galan the phenomenon of input-output, whereas the Self
is not subject to input-output.’
- Dadashri
‘The Vitarag Lords always remained in a state of
observing (seeing and knowing) their own prakruti. The prakruti
dissolves when one remains as the ‘seer’ and the ‘knower.’
