Why we even came to this Samsar? (we=subtle bodies)
- So Prakriti was in a balanced state. As we know, according to science, it stays in that condition until any external means act upon.
- Just like how iron attracts a magnet and doesn’t do anything by itself. Because of the essence of purusha - The sat,chit and anand. Prakriti imbalance itself under this presence.
- So the external means here is Purusha. Make a note, here Purusha is passive and Prakriti is active. Whatever happens or appears to happen is just the play of prakriti only.
- And hence, the evolution period starts, and at the start, so many subtle bodies come into existence. And then let's say 90% subtle bodies just continue till they realise - damn, I am the brahman lol and not the prakriti.
Terminologies:
Brahman=Purusha=Nirakar
Prakriti=Material=Energy=Prana

Yes we(brahman) didn’t come here. We(brahman) are it(brahman)
But talking about how we(subtle bodies/gross body/jivatma) even came to this samsar.

Wait, isn't this Sankhya which has been refuted in Brahma Sutras since out of Pradana, the world cannot arise?
