In Simple Terms
The witness — the aware presence that watches nature's activity without being changed by it.
Overview
The pure witnessing consciousness that observes Prakriti without acting. Purusha is unchanging, eternal, and free. It becomes bound only through identification with Prakriti's activities.
Why It Matters
Identifying with Purusha rather than Prakriti is the shift that ends suffering. You are the witness, not the action.
