‘Ultimately, there is only Purusha and Prakriti. Purusha is the male principle, uncreated, absolute, unmanifest, passive consciousness, totally inert. On the other, Prakriti is represented by you, Sati, the force of creation, dynamic, kinetic and the giver of all life. The material world is your play as the unfurling of Prakriti, whereas here in my abode—now our abode—Kailash represents Purusha and Purusha alone. ‘Because I am untouched by Prakriti, because I am unconcerned with any part of the material world, Prakriti does not contaminate Kailash.’
