Quotes About Purusha

Siva who is known as Kaalatman, the Soul of Time. Kaala is inscrutable; only Siva is beyond Prakriti, Purusha and Kaala.
~ Ramesh Menon
Every event in our life is determined by past actions. So every moment is as it is supposed to be. But it is possible to change one's fate and fortunes. The dance of Prakriti can change if Purusha intervenes. For that one has to invoke Purusha through acts of determination that demonstrate desire and devotion.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
God and Goddess. Purusha and Prakriti. Observer and observation. Subject and object. That's what it is. Not this, not that; this too, that too. That's who we are. Tat tvam asi.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
BUT BRAHMA STUBBORNLY REFUSES TO take the journey towards Purusha. He is determined to find identity and meaning through Prakriti alone. Brahma divides subjective reality into two parts: what belongs to him and what does not belong to him. Property is thus created. It is humankind's greatest delusion through which humanity seeks to generate meaning and identity.
~ Devdutt Pattanaik
The Purusha should assume at all times the attitude of a giver of sanction while rejecting the lower movements and accepting only truth-movements.
~ Sri Aurobindo
The conception of the supreme man (Puru@sa) in the @Rg-Veda also supposes that the supreme man pervades the world with only a fourth part of Himself, whereas the remaining three parts transcend to a region beyond.
~ Surendranath Dasgupta
Who is the seer? The Self of man, the Purusha. What is the scene? The whole of nature beginning with the mind, down to gross matter.
~ Swami Vivekananda
It is important to realize that as theism and theological thought developed in India, each "individual" god was seen as complex. Each was seen as the thousand-headed One, Purusha, who includes the others. Each expresses the full range of God's multiplicity. Further, each is not seen as penultimate, limited to the one quarter of Reality that we know; each is seen to stretch the theological imagination beyond the world-unworld
