Letters of Sri Aurobindo
5. Planes and Parts of the Being
Fragment ID: 331
There is no difference between Jiva and Jivatma in this language – so this distinction cannot be made. The Apara Prakriti is Nature which manifests all these minds, lives and bodies. The Para Prakriti is the very nature of the Divine – a supreme Consciousness-Force which manifests the multiple Divine as the Many.
