CHAPTER 7 Immaculate Knowledge भूमिरापोऽनलो वायु: खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च। अहंकार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा॥4॥ [ “I am the creator of all nature with its eight divisions-earth, water, fire, wind, ether, mind, intellect, and ego.’’ ] From Krishn, God, has arisen nature with all its components. This nature with its eight parts is the lower nature. अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम्। जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत् ॥5॥ [ “This nature, O the mighty-armed, is the lower, insensate nature, but against it there is my conscious, living nature which animates the whole world.’’ ] The nature with eight parts is God’s lower nature, dull and insensible. But, along with this, there is his conscious nature which impregnates and gives life to the whole world. But the individual Soul too is “nature’’ because it is associated with the other, lower nature.
