It is very necessary for the sadhak to have the factual knowledge regarding his Prakruti and proportion of its various good and bad qualities within it. Not only that, Sadhak should have deep pain within him when he knows and is aware of the obstructions caused by his Prakruti (nature). Then only it is possible to make an effort to remove it with care and awareness. In fact, we cannot know anyone in a true sense, so how can we experience anyone? The Jiva who experiences himself properly, can understand others to some extent. Chetan (consciousness) has the characteristic of oneness but in Prakruti there is variety of many kinds and expansion of it. Since Atma dwells in Prakruti, acts in the form of Prakruti and expresses through Prakruti, only Prakruti is mostly experienced externally in everyone. For this reason, the expression of the Prakruti is different in everyone and it is hard to understand and figure it out.
WE NEED TO MAKE PRAKRUTI OUR HELPFUL FRIEND
Whoever is Sadhak and is on the path to develop the life, must make an effort to take his nature and Prakruti at a higher level. Prakruti is always obstructive and it does not understand the deeper meaning of knowledge (Gnaan, જ્ઞાન) and experiences at that level. Sadhak must reform it in the form of a friend and use its enormous strength to achieve the goal of life. At this point it has taken a form of harmless goat within us and it mainly obstructs our march forward secretly.
