so the journey consists of this： from will to witness； and from witness to tathata。
question 5
you mentioned that there is no parable word for prakriti in the english language。
isnt the word constitution similar in meaning to prakriti？
no； its not the same meaning。
constitution in that sense means an individuals makeup； his psycho…physical structure。
constitution in this sense means ones system； ones physical and psychological makeup as such。
prakriti is something very different。
normally we use prakriti in the sense that 〃that mans constitution is such
〃 but this kind of usage is not correct。
prakriti means that which was before creation …… precreated。
and pralaya means： post…creation …… that which follows the creation； the end of creation。
so prakriti means that which was even before the creation came to be； that which didnt need to be created …… which has always been； beginningless。
that which already is。
srishti means the created …… that which came to be。
there is no word in european languages which stands for prakriti； because these languages are influenced by christianity。
in europe there are words such as the creation； and the creator。
in the indian languages exists the word prakriti； although not everyone uses it in the sense the sankhyaites； the vaisheshikas； the jainas use it。
this word belongs to them。
in their view； that which has been eternally present； which has never been created； is prakriti。
it is already there even before your creating anything。
for example； when you build a house； the design； the structure of it is its constitution。
but the material that goes into the making of it …… the soil； the air； the heat …… is all prakriti。
that which arises out of it is simply its structure。
however； that which was present even before the making of the structure …… which you did not create； which no one created； which is uncreated； which always was …… that something is called prakriti。
there is no word equivalent to prakriti in any of the european languages。
question 6
is tathata the same as being just aware？
actually； there is a slight difference between tathata and what you call 〃just awareness。
〃 witnessing is also slightly di
