“Prakriti cannot therefore really be a cause by itself (we are speaking of an ‘efficient cause’), apart from the action or rather the influence of the essential principle, which is Purusha, and which is, so to speak, the ‘determinant’ of manifestation; all manifested things are indeed produced by Prakriti...”

Can someone explain what Guenon is explaining? To me, it just sounds like a metaphysical abstraction of the function of men and women, without considering men or woman, and with reference to nothing but Purusha in itself without relation to anything execpt when there is something in existence.

Nobody told me that Guenon was an absolute bore.
