Chapter-13
The field and the knower of the field
The creation and dissolution of the world, are her morning and evening sports. In this way, she is a wonderful enchantress. She is the mate of lonely purusha, the companion of the unattached Self and she herself stays happily in the void i.e. the Brahman. Such is the sweep of her happy wifehood, that she can control the uncontrollable purusha. In reality, the purusha has no limitation (upadhi) right from the beginning; yet prakriti herself becomes all that pertains to him. Prakriti herself is the origin of the embodiment of the Self-existent and she gives form, continuance and habitation to the formless (996-1000). She becomes the desire of the desireless, the contentment of the complete, and the race and kin of the raceless (and kinless). She becomes the sign of the indescribable, the measure of the measureless and the mind and the intellect of the mindless. She herself becomes the form of the formless, the activity of the actionless and the egoism of the egoless. She becomes the name of the nameless, the birth of the birthless and the action of the actionless. She becomes the quality of the qualityless, the feet of the footless, the ears of the earless, the eyes of the eyeless (1001-1005), |
