If, for instance,
say water (clear water) is exposed to them, and if they fall into it,
some form of life or other will be evolved out of them. Now, what are
the agencies for the bringing of this life into existence? Evidently--
I. The water, which is the field, so to say, for the growth
of life.
II. The protoplasmic germ, out of which life or a living organism
is to be evolved or developed. And lastly--
III. The power, energy, force, or tendency which springs into activity
at the touch or combination of the protoplasmic germ and the water, and
which evolves or develops life and its natural attributes.
Similarly, there are three primary causes which bring the human being
into existence. I shall call them, for the purpose of discussion, by
the following names
(1) Parabrahmam, the Universal Spirit.
(2) Sakti, the crown of the astral light, combining in itself all the
powers of Nature.
(3) Prakriti, which in its original or primary shape is represented by
Akasa. (Really every form of matter is finally reducible to Akasa.
