“The entire world, subtle and inert, the whole of it, has been built by Prakṛti alone, which is eightfold: the five elements, Manas, Buddhi and Ahaṅkāra. This is what they call ‘Aparā Prakṛti’. And not only this: distinct from Aparā Prakṛti there is another Prakṛti of Mine. That is what they call ‘Parā Prakṛti’. It is not inert Prakṛti; it is in the form of the jīva, which is Caitanya. In truth, this whole world bears it. Aparā Prakṛti is inert. Parā Prakṛti is Caitanya.”
