THE PURUSHA

 +
Characteristics of the Purusha 
 +
 
 +
purtisha or the Self is beyond Prakriti.

 +

 +
 
 +
separate from the latter. Purushaan.d

ctti or

s It is subtle and omnipresent. It is beyond mind, 
 +
 
 +
Is Without 
 +
 
 +
d the senses. It is beyond time, space and 
 +
 
 +
iip t and it is the eternal seer. It 
 +
 
 +
is perfect and 
 +
 
 +
causalitY' it is pure consciousness (Chidru 
 +
 
 +
otable. pa). 
 +
 
 +
ill' The purusha is not the doer. It is the witness. The 
 +
 
 +
ilsha is like a crystal without any colour. It appears to 
 +
 
 +
Puibe coloured by the different colours which are placed 
 +
 
 +
efore it. It is not material. It is not a result of 
 +
 
 +
b  
 +
 
 +
combination. Hence it is immortal. The Purushas or 
 +
 
 +
souls are infinite in number, according to the Sankhya. 
 +
 
 +
There are many Purushas. If the Purushas were one, all 
 +
 
 +
should become free if any one attained release. 
 +
 
 +
The different souls are fundamentally identical in 
 +
 
 +
nature. There is no movement for the Purusha. It does 
 +
 
 +
not go anywhere when it attains freedom or release. 
 +
 
 +
Souls exist eternally separate from each other and 
 +
 
 +
from Prakriti. Each soul retains its individuality. It 
 +
 
 +
remains unchanged through all transmigrations. Each 
 +
 
 +
soul is a witness of the act of a separate creation, without 
 +
 
 +
eking part in the act. It is a looker-on uniting itself with 
 +
 
 +
thi! unintelligent Prakriti, like a lame man mounted on a 
 +
 
 +
blind man's shoulders, in order to behold the 
 +
 
 +
<nowiki>:</nowiki> omena of creation, which Prakriti herself is not able 
 +
 
 +
observe. 
 +
 
 +
The rusha or the Self is the witness (Sakshi), a 
 +
 
 +
