| PRAKRITI: The Buddhist View of Reality (1846 words) |
 | Consciousness is necessarily transcendent, unconnected with prakriti, and therefore it can have neither cognitive nor intuitive awareness, since those are activities which involve some centre or egoity and surrounding field from which it separates itself or with which it identifies. |
| To say that prakriti reflects the presence of purusha, or that purusha is reflected in prakriti, preserves a rigid distinction between the two, for neither an object reflected in a mirror nor the mirror is affected by the other. |
| Prakriti continues to evolve because individual selves in it do not realize that they are really purusha and, therefore, can "separate" themselves from prakriti. |
