INTRODUCTION.
It is continuation of my previous post,

What is material nature? This is also explained in Gita as inferior prakrti, inferior nature. The living entity is explained as the superior prakrti. Prakrti is always under control, whether inferior or superior. Prakrti is female, and she is controlled by the Lord just as the activities of
a wife are controlled by the husband. Prakrti is always subordinate., predominated by the Lord, who is the predominator. The living entities and material nature are both predominated, controlled by the Supreme Lord. According to the Gita, the living entities, although parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, are to be considered prakrti. This is clearly mentioned in the Seventh Chapter, fifth verse of Bhagavad-gita: ''A pare yam itas tv anyam." "This prakrti is My lower nature." ''Prakrtim viddhi me param jiva-bhutarh maha-baho yayedarh dharyate jagat." And beyond this there is another prakrti: jiva-bhutam, the living entity.
Note: It is to inform that it is not my own written material. With a divine intention of service,
to spread the message of Lord Krsna, I am trying to post the Book "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" without changing even a single word also.
