Purusha uniting with Prakṛti (matter) gives rise to life. In the Sankhya philosophy, Purusha is the plural immobile male (spiritual) cosmic principle, pure consciousness, unattached and unrelated to anything, which is “nonactive, unchanging, eternal, and pure”. In the Upanishads, the Purusha concept refers to the abstract essence of the Self, Spirit and the Universal Principle that is eternal, indestructible, without form, and is all-pervasive. This was one of many creation myths discussed in the Vedas. In early Vedas, Purusha was a cosmic being whose sacrifice by the gods created all life. Depending on source and historical timeline, it means the cosmic being or self, consciousness, and universal principle.
Purusha ( puruṣa or Sanskrit: पुरुष) is a complex concept whose meaning evolved in Vedic and Upanishadic times. Cosmic man or Self, Consciousness, and Universal principle
