Prakruti-Purusha

   tvam Adideva purusha puranamstvastya vishvatma param nidhanam || (Ch 1. Verse 39)
   This verse eulogises the Lord as the 'Adi deva purusha'. the primal Deity, primordial seed of creation! He has created andentered it (His creation). He dwells in us all! the supreme Lord is immutable, self-effulgent, and eteranl being.  As to the term 'Being', the verse 37 explains thus,:"Being is that which exists! Non-being is that with reference to whichthe idea of non-existence arises. Thus, He is both Being and the non-being- param Atman and Jiva Atman. The Immutable is transcendental to being and nob-being.The learned sages have declared as 'One'. He is everything. sarvam khaluvidam brahma || 
  Prakrutim purusham chaiva (Ch.13. Verse 19). This verse makes it amply clear that there is no beginning or end to this jivatman and the prakruti. The individual soul (jivatman) is the manifest form of the one supreme unborn, eternal, and His nature. The Bhagavad-Gita has clearly defined the concepts of ''Prakruti and 'Purusha'  (Ch. XVIII Verses 40-41). Everything is born of 'guna', qualities of Nature (prakruti). 'One only becomes many' is the principle. It is tamas becoming, rajas and sattva by its own nature. Here again, 'guneshu gunanuvartante' is the principle. Everybody presents these qualities day and night all through life! A person shows tamas in the night, becomes sattvic in the morning and evening and rajasic throughout the day. Rajas makes one active, while tamas makes him/her indolent, lazy and inactive. Sattva is normally short-lived in all! Sattva makes a person almost contemplative on higher aspects of life. 

    Nature means the guna, prakruti, maya of God. (Verse 40). God is the 'mahapurusha' who manifests as jivatman. The One who inherits the pura (body) is the purusha! Purusha is the embodied soul, jivatman. His nature is the quality of the person!

  It may be surprising to know the way the living beings take certain forms from almost the invisible brahmn! The Bhagavad-Gita has narrated how the jiva takes shape. The soul comes to earth as an ion of electrical spark from solar radiation carrying the radiant energy of other distant stars, as well! This is evident from the hydrogen and oxygen ions in our atmosphere and water-vapor in the clouds. The rain drops that fall to earth gets mixed with the soil and create life forms of all sorts! The life-force enters and departs at will! It creates life forms like plants, animals, humans, whenever and wherever it enters as a biotic entity, Thus all are just the hydrogen, oxygen, carbon content at its root! The scriptures praise the Lord as Hari sarvottama and vayu jeevottama!

   The soul, indeed, is the purusha and the body is His own creation! Since the soul is all-knowing and all-powerful it is capable of entering anywhere and create a body of organs of His like! Thus we all have entered the earth and the food and became the spermatozoa creating a form when impregnated in the woman's egg-cell. We have created our own tissues, organs and body from cell division and cell multiplication in the woman's body and make them mother and father after our birth!
