Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 7 verse 5


Chapter 7 verse 5

“This is the lower prakriti (energy); different from it, know that, My higher prakriti (energy), the very life element, by which this world is upheld”

In the previous verse, Krishna calls out his material energy through which all the jivas are constituted. However there is a higher spiritual energy which encompasses the soul of each being, which he calls the life energy or element. The lower material energy is a creation of maya. The higher energy which is an integral part of the God principle is indestructible, immutable soul which can reach the abode of the divine by removing the veil of the maya shakti or energy.
