Prakruti [the relative self, innate nature] has opinions and may store them but we should stay in an opinion-free state. ‘We’ are separate and the relative self is separate from us. ‘We’ should play our part as a separate entity. We shouldn’t get involved with those problems.

About This Quote

This quote expresses the true nature of the self. The “self” is not a separate entity. It is not an opinion. It is not anything other than our own consciousness.

When we say “we,” we are referring to our experience or self-image, which is the image that we hold of ourselves that tells us who we are and what we can do. It is an image that develops as we grow up, based on our experiences and interactions with the world around us. To use another term, it is the totality of our understanding about who we are and what things mean to us.

The question Prakruti asks is whether or not we should get involved in those problems. If you think about it, these problems are nothing but our own confusion about how things work.
