Srimad Bhagavad Gita -Ramanujacharya 232

apareyamitastvanyāṃ prakṛtiṃ viddhi me parām |
jīvabhūtāṃ mahābāho yayedaṃ dhāryate jagat || 5 ||

5. This is My Inferior Nature [Prakṛti]. But, O mighty-armed One, know that My Superior Nature
is different. It is the life-principle [Jīva-bhuta], by which this universe is sustained.

Commentary

The ‘Higher Nature’ is totally different from this inanimate material nature comprised of the objects of enjoyment for sentient beings. It is ‘higher’, because it is more preeminent compared to the insentient ‘lower’ nature. This higher Nature is the individual Self (Puruṣa) by which the whole inanimate material universe is sustained.
