the body except Atma) have to have samrassi food?
Dadashri : What is prakruti? Prakruti ceases to be
when ‘that which was multiplied by thirteen is divided by thirteen.’
(negate with something that will leave no balance) Now what

Questioner : Give us as an example.
Dadashri : Prakruti is the result of the bhaavs you did
previously. These bhaavs were based on whatever you ate at
that time. You multiplied those bhaavs with thirteen. Now you
