By Prakriti [in a passage in «Bases of Yoga»] is meant universal Prakriti. Universal Prakriti entering into the vital being creates desires which appear by its habitual response as an individual nature; but if the habitual desires she throws in are rejected and exiled, the being remains but the old individual prakriti of vital desire is no longer there,– a new nature is formed responding to the Truth above and not to the lower Nature.
