Prakriti is the fundamental principle of matter, the material cause of the universe.

The three gunas of Prakriti are Sattva (purity, goodness), Rajas (passion, activity), and Tamas (darkness, inertia).

Prakriti and Purusha are two aspects of the same reality, the one being the material cause and the other being the efficient cause.

Prakriti is the material cause of the universe, providing the raw material from which the universe is created.

Purusha is the efficient cause of the universe, providing the consciousness and intelligence that guides the creation.

The ultimate goal of Prakriti is to merge with Purusha, achieving a state of perfect balance and harmony.

Prakriti is the foundation of the universe, providing the material cause and the framework for all existence.

Dharma is not a guna of Prakriti. The three gunas of Prakriti are Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.

Sattva is the most sattvic guna, representing purity, goodness, and light.

Rajas is the most rajasic guna, representing passion, activity, and restlessness.

Tamas is the most tamasic guna, representing darkness, inertia, and ignorance.

Prakriti is both the cause of samsara, as it is the material cause of the universe, and the means of liberation from samsara, as it provides the path to self-realization.

The ultimate goal of Prakriti in the cycle of samsara is to merge with Purusha, achieving a state of perfect balance and harmony.

Prakriti is both the obstacle to self-realization, as it is the source of attachment and suffering, and the means to self-realization, as it provides the path to self-knowledge and liberation.

The ultimate goal of Prakriti in the process of self-realization is to merge with Purusha, achieving a state of perfect balance and harmony.
