In Simple Terms
Nature — everything that changes, moves, and acts. Your body, mind, and thoughts are all Prakriti.
Overview
The material nature — the field of all physical and mental phenomena. Prakriti acts; Purusha witnesses. All actions belong to Prakriti; the Self (Purusha) is the unchanging witness.
Why It Matters
The Gita's key teaching: what you think is 'you' acting is really Prakriti. The real you (Purusha) only watches.
