The relation between these two (viz., Purusha and Nature) is like that existing between matter and its maker. As one goes into a dark place carrying a light with him, so those who wish for the Supreme proceed with the light of Nature. As long as matter and quality exist, so long the light shines.
तथा सत्त्वप्रदीपेन गच्छन्ति परमैषिणः॥ यावद् द्रव्यं गुणस्तावत् प्रदीपः सम्प्रकाशते।
