Acharya Prashant explains the distinction between Apara Prakrti (lower nature) and Para Prakrti (higher nature) as described in the Bhagavad Gita. Apara Prakrti consists of eight elements: the five classical elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space) plus the mind, intellect, and ego. These are objects of perception that can be observed. Para Prakrti is the seeing consciousness or the individual soul that upholds the world. While the eight elements are easier to watch, the Para Prakrti is the one that watches them. However, even this seeing consciousness is not the ultimate Truth or Brahman, because seeing involves intent and participation, creating a relationship between the seer and the seen. He clarifies that the spiritual witness is fundamentally different from the common understanding of a witness. In spiritual terms, the witness does not see anything because it has no interest or intent; it is non-attached and exists apart from any duality. The seer, or the one who knows the field, is defined by its relationship to the field. To move toward Shri Krishna or the ultimate state, the seer must watch the field with progressively less interest and purpose. When watching loses its intent, it transforms into witnessing, allowing the individual consciousness to sublimate into the divine.
