SŪKṢMAPRAKṚTI   The cause which is indestructible, not clear and having always goodness as its form is Sūkṣmaprakṛti. That unspeakable nature has no base. Sūkṣmaprakṛti is immovable and indestructible. There is no sound or form or touch in it. This nature which has no beginning or end, which has only three attributes is the root cause of the universe. This entire universe was pervaded by this power from the beginning of the great deluge to the beginning of creation. Then there was no night or day, no earth or Sky, no light or darkness. Then there was only Brahman the union of Prakṛti and Puruṣa which could not be perceived by sense organs or intelligence. (See under Prakṛti).
