Hey Everyone!,

'Prakriti' (Nature/Swabhav).
All actions are being performed by the Gunas of Prakriti. But he, whose mind is deluded by egoism, thinks ‘I am the doer’.
This particular reminder from Gita is to reiterate the fact that Nature is intimately involved in humanity's purpose and action. Even whatever we think and act later on we do so because some particular elements of nature predominent in us working and guiding within.
What is nature?
Is it a conglomerate of mountains and rivers, plants and animals and other humans around us? But that is just manifest nature. In all the manifest nature, the real prakriti work within.
Nature is an attribute, our swabhaav (स्वभाव). Nature is both the nature within and without. There is great interaction of elements within and without.
Each one of us is born with a certain 'prakriti' (nature/ swabhav).
According to Ayurveda this 'prakriti' depends upon the unique combination of the five natural elements (earth, water, fire, air, space) in each human being - present at the time of conception. It is a part of our blue-print. Our life is supposed to unfold according to this blueprint. Just as it happens in all of nature.
Being aware of our unique prakriti (self-awareness) and being true to it (while using our conscience, imagination and willpower) is our 'swadharma'. Any deviation from this path leads to 'vikriti' or distortion of our blue-print. And that makes our life go haywire.
Until and unless we are 'self-aware', we may think that expressing our opinion/ perspective and acting upon it is being 'true' to ourselves. But that is not necessarily true; for our opinions/ perspective may be originating in 'vikriti' / distortion/ illusion instead of our authentic 'prakriti'/ nature/ blue-print.
The first step in 'being true to ourselves' is always 'self-awareness'. The rest just follows. When you become AWARE of your prakriti, you cannot go against it. Your conscience won't allow it.
Once on The Path, there is no turning back.
Let's witness our 'unfolding' with courage, faith, gratitude and love. Let's be an active participant of this unfolding.
When we accept our prakriti/ swabhav fully and become grounded in it, we achieve the highest potential factored in our blueprint.
AND we also accept everyone's prakriti/ swabhav without getting hassled by it (and without interfering in their unfolding.)
Hope you enjoyed reading this;)
