Ask Alok da

Please explain Prakriti in simple words. Mainly the distinction of Lower & Higher Prakriti. I tried a few articles available in Auromaa.org on this subject but could not get a clear understanding. Can we simply say that all the nurturing forces of life like love, wisdom, strength, prosperity etc in the universe constitute Higher Prakriti and hindering forces like ignorance, laziness, lust, anger, unchecked desires etc fall under Lower Prakriti? Is higher prakriti the same as Parvati & Radha to whom we worship🤨?

Prakriti is the executing force that does everything according to the wisdom and power or the secret intelligence hidden in her. This is self evident. It is threefold in its working. These are tamas or the principle of inertia, stability, rest,; rajas or the principle of kinesis, movement etc; sattwa or the principle of harmony and balance. It includes both human good and human evil. The lower nature operates on the principle of division and ignorance. Beyond this is the Higher Prakriti, which operates in the basis of unity and includes Wisdom, Compassion,  Fearlessness, Beauty, Perfection, Delight. 

The lower is a limited and distorted version of the Higher. Man must first pass through the lower and get prepared through it for the higher. Very simply we can say, it is the difference between present earth nature and the divine nature. It is very beautifully described in the Gita and elaborated by Sri Aurobindo in Essays on the Gita. There are some talks on it on Auromaa, not articles. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I shared all my experiences with my uncle, who has been doing Gurudev’s yoga since 2013. And both of us used to discuss supramental yoga, divine transformation, all this a lot, so I shared everything accordingly, then he asked me whether there is any negativity attached to you which is misleading you, then I said if something like this was happening then why would you experience peace and love, 👣🛣️🧘‍♂️🕯️

Generally I do not like to comment on other Gurus because faith is something sacred and personal. The problem is not about the claims etc which one often finds in all sects and religions. There are also countless stories of miracles cited to attract the credulous. This is also not the main issue. The real issue is what one is seeking …
