Acharya Prashant explains that the concepts of Prakriti and Purush are models used to understand the human condition. He clarifies that everything conceptualized or spoken is a model because the ultimate truth is not bodily or material. While these models are not the truth itself, they are highly useful for the mind to comprehend its own entanglement. He defines Prakriti as the mechanical aspect of a person and Purush as consciousness. This consciousness is dependent on the body and brain—suffering when the body is harmed—yet it remains distinct from them and is never fully satisfied by material things. He distinguishes between the brain and consciousness, noting that the brain is a system of old patterns and mechanisms that cannot truly understand spiritual truths. Spirituality addresses consciousness, which has the capacity to go beyond established patterns and grasp the essence of teachings like the Upanishads. While the brain can translate or interpret like a machine, true understanding is a function of consciousness alone. Furthermore, he emphasizes that memory is a material process residing in the cells. Therefore, even an awakened person is subject to physical laws; if their brain is injured, their memory will be affected, and if they are physically harmed, they will bleed, as these are functions of Prakriti.
