“There are two Purushas in this world, the destructible and the indestructible; the

destructible is all beings, the unchanging is called the indestructible.

"The highest Purusha is verily another, declared as the Supreme SELF; He who pervading
all, sustaineth the three worlds, the indestructible ishvara.

“Since I excel the destructible, and am more excellent also than the indestructible, in the
world and in the Veda I am proclaimed Prushottama."

ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूतः सनातनः ।

मनः षष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृ तिस्थानि कर्षति৷৷७ ৷৷*
"A portion of Mine own Self, transformed in the world of life into an immortal Spirit,
draweth round itself the senses, of which the mind is the sixth, veiled in matter.

*Bhagavad Gita, x-7

समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम्‌।

विनश्यत्स्वविनश्यन्तं यः पश्यति स पश्यति ॥२८
यदा भूतपृथग्भावमेकस्थमनुपश्यति ।
तत एव च विस्तारं ब्रह्म सम्पद्यते तदा ॥३१
यथा प्रकाशयत्येकः कृ त्स्नं लोकमिमं रविः ।
क्षेत्रं क्षेत्री तथा कृ त्स्नं प्रकाशयति भारत ॥३४+
“Seated equally in all beings, the supreme Ishvara, unperishing within the perishing; he
who thus seeth, he seeth.

"When he preceiveth the diversified exsistence of beings as rooted in ONE and spreading
forth from It, then he reacheth Brahman.

"As the one sun illumineth the whole earth so the Lord of the field, illumineth the whole
field, O Bharata.”

भूमिरापोऽनलो वायुः खं मनो बुद्धिरेव च ।

अहङ्‍कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृ तिरष्टधा ॥४
अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृ तिं विद्धि मे पराम्‌।
जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत्‌॥५ *

"Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Other, Mind and Reason also and Egoism-these are the eight-fold
divisions of my Prakrti.

"This the inferior. Know my other Prakrti, the higher, the life-element, O mighty-armed,
by which the universe is upheld."

सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति गुणाः प्रकृ तिसम्भवाः ।

निबध्नन्ति महाबाहो देहे देहिनमव्ययम्‌॥ ५++
"Sattva, Rajas, Tamas, these are the Gunas, born of Prakriti; they bind fast in the body, O
great-armed one, the indestructible dweller in the body."
