10 June 2025 The Real Self is the Witness Both Purusha (consciousness) and Prakruthi (nature) are beginningless, yet utterly different—one sentient and unchanging, the other inert and ever-changing. Purusha merely illuminates; Prakruthi acts. When the Self falsely identifies with the body and mind, it imagines itself as the doer and suffers. This confusion is the root of samsaara. But the Jnaani knows that the Self is ever the same as Paramaathmaa, untouched by change. Realizing this truth brings liberation—not in some distant heaven, but here and now.
