Bhagavad Gita AS IT IS: Part 5What is material nature? This is also explained in Gita as inferior prakrti, inferior nature. The living entity is explained as the superior prakrti. Prakrti is always under control, whether inferior or superior. Prakrti is female, and she iscontrolled by the Lord just as the activities of a wife are controlled by thehusband. Prakrti is always subordinate, predominated by the Lord, who is thepredominator. The living entities and material nature are both predominated,controlled by the Supreme Lord. According to the Gita, the living entities,although parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, are to be considered prakåti.This is clearly mentioned in the Seventh Chapter of Bhagavad-gita. Apareyamitas tv anyäm prakrtim viddhi me paräm/ jéva-bhütäm: "This material nature isMy inferior prakrti, but beyond this is another prakrti—jéva-bhütäm, the livingentity."
