Changes

Purusha is the witness-subject. ''Puruṣa'' is neither body, nor sense-organ, nor is it mind. ''Puruṣa'' is the conscious spirit and a pure witness or ''Kevala-Sakṣin.'' He is also known as ''Svayam-Jyoti'' or self-conscious with happiness. There is one indwelling ''Puruṣa'' in every individual who appears as sentient.<ref name=":3" />

The world is evolved with its different elements when the equilibrium in Prakriti is disturbed. The countless Purushas exert a mechanical force on Prakriti which distracts the equipoise of Prakriti and produces a movement. Then the evolution of the universe starts.

# One pure ''Prakṛti'' is the balanced condition of ''Sattva'', ''Rajas'' and ''Tamas''. ''(Sattva- rajas-tamasāṁ-samyāvasṭhā-prakṛtiḥ).'' Before creation the change in Prakrti is homogeneous, in which the three gunas are held in a state of equilibrium.
