“Prakriti is the dynamic side of the being.” What is meant here by “the being”? Generally we use the term “lower being” for the Prakriti.

Prakriti is Nature; being includes Purusha also. Prakriti is not the lower being – the word covers the whole of Nature. We speak of the lower nature, the higher nature.
