SELF RESPECT AND SELF ESTEEM OF PRAKRITI
In the context of Ayurveda, Prakriti refers to an individual's unique
constitution or nature, encompassing physical, physiological, and
psychological aspects. Understanding one's Prakriti is crucial for
self-awareness, self-respect, and self-esteem, as it helps in identifying
strengths and weaknesses, understanding behavioral patterns, and making
informed choices for health and well-being. By embracing one's Prakriti,
individuals can cultivate self-acceptance, enhance their self-worth, and
build confidence.
Here's a breakdown of how Prakriti relates to self-respect and self-esteem:
1. Self-Awareness and Acceptance:
Prakriti as a foundation:
Knowing one's Prakriti, whether Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, provides a deep
understanding of one's inherent nature and tendencies.
Accepting individual differences:
Recognizing that each person has a unique Prakriti fosters self-acceptance
and appreciation for individual differences.
Self-esteem and self-respect:
By embracing one's Prakriti, individuals can develop a stronger sense of
self-esteem and self-respect, recognizing their inherent worthiness.
2. Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses:
Leveraging strengths:
Understanding Prakriti helps in identifying one's strengths and using them
to achieve goals and overcome challenges.
Managing weaknesses:
By understanding the tendencies associated with their Prakriti, individuals
can develop strategies to manage their weaknesses and mitigate potential
imbalances.
Building confidence:
Recognizing and utilizing strengths while managing weaknesses contributes
to a sense of competence and self-efficacy, boosting self-esteem.
3. Fostering Emotional Strength:
Understanding reactions:
Prakriti explains the underlying reasons for one's reactions in different
situations, helping to manage emotions more effectively.
Emotional regulation:
By understanding the mind-body connection through Prakriti, individuals can
learn to regulate their emotions and respond to situations with greater
awareness and balance.
Increased confidence:
Emotional resilience and self-regulation contribute to a sense of inner
strength and confidence, enhancing self-respect and self-esteem.
4. Promoting Holistic Well-being:
Personalized approach:
Understanding Prakriti allows for a personalized approach to health and
well-being, including diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.
Preventive care:
By understanding potential imbalances associated with their Prakriti,
individuals can take proactive steps to prevent illness and maintain
optimal health.
Overall sense of well-being:
When individuals feel healthy and balanced, it positively impacts their
self-esteem and self-respect.
5. Cultivating Self-Love:
Appreciating uniqueness:
Embracing one's Prakriti fosters a sense of self-love and appreciation for
one's unique qualities.
Self-compassion:
Understanding that one's tendencies are inherent to their Prakriti allows
for self-compassion and forgiveness.
Self-worth:
Self-love and compassion contribute to a strong sense of self-worth and
self-respect.
In essence, understanding one's Prakriti is a powerful tool for
self-discovery and personal growth. It provides a framework for
self-acceptance, building confidence, and cultivating a positive
self-image, ultimately contributing to a stronger sense of self-respect and
self-esteem. AYURVEDA IS NASED ON THAT BUT TODAY IT IS MAKING PEOPLE
DOCTORS SO RICH COSTLIER THAN WEST.
II These verses from Chapter 13 of the Bhagavad Gita highlight
the divine relationship between Purusha and Prakriti, the eternal interplay
between Purusha (Spirit) and Prakriti (Matter) that drives all creation.
This divine relationship between Purusha and Prakriti is the foundation of
existence, manifesting life in all its forms—be it sthāvara (stationary
entities) like mountains or jaṅgama (mobile beings) like humans.
Understanding this divine relationship between Purusha and Prakriti,
alongside the distinction between Kṣetra (field) and Kṣetrajña (knower of
the field), is vital for spiritual liberation.
Krishna explains that the divine relationship between Purusha and Prakriti
ensures the unity of all creation while allowing for diversity. The Atman,
eternal and unchanging, remains untouched by Prakriti’s dynamic qualities,
much like space remains untainted despite holding everything. By
recognizing the divine relationship between Purusha and Prakriti, seekers
can transcend ego, overcome attachment, and align with their higher
purpose.The teachings also emphasize practical applications of this divine
relationship between Purusha and Prakriti, such as mastering the mind,
refining the intellect with jnana (knowledge), and embracing
non-attachment. This awareness fosters humility, equanimity (samatva), and
non-violence (ahimsa). When the divine relationship between Purusha and
Prakriti is fully understood, it transforms not only how we view the world
but also how we live and act within it.
Verses 13.27 to 13.35
yāvat sañjāyate kiñcit sattvaṁ sthāvara-jaṅgamam
kṣetra-kṣetrajña-saṁyogāt tad viddhi bharatarṣabha
Know that whatever comes into being, whether immovable or moving, is
produced by the union of the kshetra (field) and kshetrajna (the knower of
the field).
samaṁ sarveṣu bhūteṣu tiṣṭhantaṁ parameśvaram
vinaśyatsv avinaśyantaṁ yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati
They alone see truly who perceive the Paramātmā (Supreme Lord) accompanying
the individual soul in all beings, and who understand both to be
imperishable amidst everything that is perishable, including the body that
they reside in.
samaṁ paśyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśvaram
na hinasty ātmanātmānaṁ tato yāti parāṁ gatim
One who sees the Supreme Lord equally present everywhere and in all living
beings, does not harm the self by the self and attains the supreme
destination.
prakṛtyaiva ca karmāṇi kriyamāṇāni sarvaśaḥ
yaḥ paśyati tathātmānam akartāraṁ sa paśyati
They alone truly see who see that all actions are done by Prakṛti alone,
and that the Self is actionless.
yadā bhūta-pṛthag-bhāvam ekastham anupaśyati
tata eva ca vistāraṁ brahma sampadyate tadā
When one sees the diverse variety of beings as inherent in the One, and
their expansion from That (One) alone, they then become Brahman.
yathā sarvagataṁ saukṣmyād ākāśaṁ nopalipyate
sarvatrāvasthito dehe tathātmā nopalipyate
Just as space, which is very subtle, is not tainted though all-pervading
and holding everything, so too the Self, pervading the whole body, is not
tainted.
yathā prakāśayaty ekaḥ kṛtsnaṁ lokam imaṁ raviḥ
kṣetraṁ kṣetrī tathā kṛtsnaṁ prakāśayati bhārata
Just as the one sun illuminates the entire world, so does the knower of the
field illuminate the entire field, O descendant of Bharata.
kṣetra-kṣetrajñayor evam antaraṁ jñāna-cakṣuṣā
bhūta-prakṛti-mokṣaṁ ca ye vidur yānti te param
Those who, through the eye of knowledge, understand the distinction between
the field and the knower of the field, and the process of liberation from
material nature, attain the Supreme.
III Divine relationship between Purusha and Prakriti
Lord Shri Krishna, in these concluding verses of Chapter 13, clarifies the
intricate relationship between Purusha (spirit) and Prakriti (matter). He
declares that their combination is the fundamental cause of all manifested
entities. The terms यावत् सञ्जायते (yavat sanjāyate), meaning “whatever
that is born,” and स्थावर-जङ्गम (sthāvara-jaṅgama), meaning “stationary or
mobile,” illustrate the all-encompassing nature of this relationship. From
the immovable mountains to the fleeting movements of living beings,
everything is born of this union.
सञ्जायते (sanjāyate): “is born”—reminds us of the unbroken flow of creation
sustained by the interaction of spirit and matter.
The word सञ्जायते (sanjāyate) implies that the universe and all its
constituents are in a perpetual state of becoming. This process is driven
by the fusion of two fundamental principles:
Purusha (Spirit): The eternal, unchanging consciousness that serves as the
witness and enabler of creation.
Prakriti (Matter): The dynamic, mutable principle that manifests as the
material world, including the body, mind, and senses.
Together, they form the dual aspects of reality, like the seed and soil in
the growth of a tree. Just as the seed cannot germinate without soil, and
the soil cannot create life without a seed, Purusha and Prakriti are
interdependent. The creative energy of the universe springs forth from
their interaction.
This idea is beautifully encapsulated in Vedic cosmology, where the
universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, sustenance, and dissolution.
these three phases are referred to as:
Sṛṣṭi (सृष्टि) – Creation
Sthiti (स्थिति) – Sustenance or preservation
Samhara, Laya (लय) or Pralaya (प्रलय) – Dissolution or reabsorption
During sṛṣṭi, the universe is created and manifested from the divine
source. In the phase of sthiti, the universe is sustained and maintained by
the cosmic order. Finally, during laya or pralaya, the universe is
dissolved back into its original, unmanifested state, only to be created
again in the next cycle. This concept is elaborated in various Vedic texts,
including the Upanishads and Puranas. It represents the eternal, cyclical
nature of existence and the cosmic dance of creation and destruction.
IV The Taittiriya Upanishad (3.1.1) states:
yato vā imāni bhūtāni jāyante yena jātāni jīvanti
yat prayantyabhisaṃviśanti tad brahma tad vijijñāsasva.
*That from which these beings are born, by which, once born, they live, and
into which they merge when they cease to be—seek to know that. That is
Brahman.*
Shri Krishna emphasizes that everything, whether स्थावर (sthāvara)
(stationary) or जङ्गम (jaṅgama) (mobile), owes its existence to this
interplay. The mountains, rivers, plants, and animals are all products of
this eternal process. Even the smallest particle of dust is a manifestation
of the union of Purusha and Prakriti.
The term सञ्जायते also reminds us that this flow of creation is
all-encompassing, transcending distinctions of form, movement, or even
perception. In this sense, सञ्जायते embodies the principle that nothing
exists in isolation—all forms are interdependent and interconnected.
Neither Purusha nor Prakriti operate independently; their union is like two
sides of the same coin. This understanding forms the basis of Vedic
culture’s reverence for nature. Rivers, mountains, and even the earth
itself are seen as sacred because they are permeated by Purusha. This
perspective fosters a deep sense of gratitude and humility, leading to
their worship as divine entities like Bhūmi Devi (Mother Earth). By
recognizing the divine in all creation, the devotee develops reverence for
life in all its forms. The process of creation, symbolized by सञ्जायते, is
sustained by the union of Purusha and Prakriti, yet it is shrouded in the
veil of avidya (ignorance) caused by the ego. The ego (ahamkara) falsely
identifies the self with the body, mind, and senses, creating a sense of
separateness from the divine source. This delusion binds the individual to
the cycles of creation and suffering, perpetuating the flow of सञ्जायते in
its material sense. Shri Krishna’s teachings make it clear that true
knowledge (jnana), which reveals the distinction between Kṣetra (field) and
Kṣetrajña (knower of the field), can only dawn when the ego is surrendered.
Humility becomes the gateway to this realization because it aligns the
seeker with the natural order (ṛta) of the universe, where the ego has no
place.
V Humility allows the seeker to recognize that:
The Self is not the doer: All actions and manifestations arise from the
interaction of Purusha and Prakriti, not from the ego-driven sense of the
body as the doer.
Creation is divine: The diversity of forms, even those deemed
insignificant, is an expression of the same divine principle. This
realization helps us treat every creation with respect.
The journey requires surrender: By letting go of ego, the seeker aligns
with the eternal flow of creation, gaining access to the knowledge that
liberates them from the cycle of birth and rebirth.
Ahimsa: The Ethical Vision of Unity
Shri Krishna reveals that seeing the same Brahman (Supreme Soul) equally
present in all beings fosters ahimsa (non-violence).
The profound realization that Brahman dwells equally in all beings
eradicates the illusion of separateness. Harming another amounts to harming
oneself because all beings are interconnected through the same divine
essence. This ethical vision aligns perfectly with the next Pragma.
VI The Mind, Intellect, and Liberation
Shri Krishna’s earlier teachings shed light on the internal struggle
between the mind, intellect, and the Self. In 6.6, He proclaims:
bandhur ātmātmanas tasya yenātmaivātmanā jitaḥ,
anātmanas tu śatrutve vartetātmaiva śatru-vat.
For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best friend; for one
who has failed, the mind will remain the greatest enemy.This verse
emphasizes the necessity of mastering the mind. Left unchecked, the mind is
a restless force that drags the individual toward material desires. Shri
Krishna further elaborates in 3.42:
The mind is pleasure seeking by nature and will keep dragging us towards
material pleasures. If we follow the mind, we will fall lower and lower
into material consciousness and body consciousness. Because the intellect
is superior to the mind, we need to keep a check on the mind and control
the mind with the help of the intellect. But for this to happen, the
intellect needs to be sharpened and empowered with true knowledge. Once we
empower our intellect and get our mind under control, we become elevated in
spiritual consciousness and progress on the path towards liberation.I hope
you see the connection between knowledge and intellect and mind and
liberation.We also need to understand that even when multiple actions are
done by the body, the soul doesn’t do anything. But the soul identifies
with the body due to the influence of Ego. This knowledge is also important
because ultimately, this is the knowledge that helps us see the play of
maya and understand that although there are numerous bodies with various
shapes and forms, the ultimate reality is the soul. This knowledge helps us
then see God in everyone and everything.
VII This knowledge bridges the samsara of worldly existence with the
paramartha of ultimate reality, empowering us to live as instruments of the
divine. With this realization, let us embrace the truth of the Atman and
awaken to our eternal nature.
See Unity in Diversity
Lesson: Shri Krishna teaches that the Supreme Lord (Brahman) is present
equally in all beings, regardless of external differences. This realization
fosters samatva (equanimity) and empathy.
Practical Application:
Treat everyone with respect and kindness, recognizing the divine in them.
Avoid prejudice and judgment based on external factors like status,
religion, or appearance.
Cultivate compassion by remembering that all beings share the same inner
essence.
Practice Non-Attachment
Lesson: The Kṣetrajña is eternal and unaffected by the ups and downs of
life, while the Kṣetra is transient and ever-changing. Recognizing this
distinction helps you remain detached from external circumstances.
Practical Application:
When facing challenges, remind yourself, “This too shall pass.”
Celebrate achievements without letting them define your self-worth.
Let go of excessive worry about outcomes by focusing on sincere effort
(karma yoga).
Accept the Cycles of Life
Lesson: The universe operates in cycles of creation (Sṛṣṭi), sustenance
(Sthiti), and dissolution (Laya). Recognizing this helps you embrace change
with grace.
Practical Application:
Instead of resisting change, view it as a natural part of life’s flow.
Celebrate beginnings, nurture the present, and accept endings as
opportunities for renewal.
Reflect regularly on impermanence to reduce attachment and fear.
Live with Awareness and Gratitude
Lesson: Everything in the universe arises from the interplay of Purusha and
Prakriti, the divine forces sustaining life. Recognizing this fosters
gratitude and wonder.
Practical Application:
Start or end your day by expressing gratitude for the opportunities and
blessings in your life.
Be present in daily activities, viewing them as expressions of the divine.
Find beauty and divinity in nature, relationships, and work, no matter how
mundane they may seem.
