Occasionally I read a sutra that’s too beautiful not to share. This one describes purusha as seeing the changeability of our experiences (prakriti) as surface waves in the deep ocean which we are… Divine.
Consider all the pain and all the pleasure
You have ever experienced
As waves on a very deep ocean which you are.
From the depths, witness those waves,
Rolling along so bravely, always changing,
Beautiful in their self-sustaining power.
Marvel that once, you identified with
Only the surface of this ocean.
Now embrace waves, depths, undersea mountains,
Out to the farthest shore.
