Avyakta
Avyakta, meaning "not manifest", "devoid of form" etc., is the word ordinarily used to denote Prakrti on account of subtleness of its nature and is also used to denote Brahman who is the subtlest of all and who by virtue of that subtlety is the ultimate support (''asraya'') of ''Prakrti''. Avyakta as a category along with ''Mahat'' (Cosmic Intelligence) and Purusa plays an important role in the later Samkhya philosophy even though the Bhagavad Gita III.42 retaining the psychological categories altogether drops out the ''Mahat'' and the ''Avyakta'' (Unmanifest), the two objective categories.
==Avyakta and origin of things==
Charaka gives six elements or ''dhatus'' by adding ''Chetana'' to the five elements "earth", "water", "fire", "air" and "akasa". ''Chetana'' is identified with Purusa and the ''Avyakta-part'' of ''Prakrti'' treated as one category and called Paramatman. It is when ''Purusa'' or ''Chetana'' is connected with the body of senses and mind that consciousness can come to the self; consciousness is a phenomenon of the soul-mind-body complex. According to Bhagavad Gita XIII.1-2, ''Vikara'' or the evolutionary products of ''Prakrti'' are the ''Ksetras'' (Field) (Living organisms) and the ''Avyakta-part'' of ''Purusa'' or ''Chetana'' or ''Paramatman'' is the ''Ksetragna'' (Knower of the Field) (the individual self) (the Supreme Self).
According to Sushruta’s views on the evolutionary process set in motion by Consciousness, ''Mahan'' (Intellect) is generated from ''Avyakta'' or ''mula-prakrti'', from that ''Mahan'', ''Ahamkara'' (Ego) is produced having the same qualities, and from ''Ahamkara'' are produced the twenty four elements that are ''achetana'' (unconscious) in nature, and the twenty-fifth element is the Jiva (Purusa or soul).
Paingala Upanishad, extending the instructions of the Mandukya Upanishad states that the ''mula-prakrti'' (body) becomes animated by associating with the witnessing consciousness which is the conditioned Brahman, and begins to evolve. Its first evolute is ''Avyakta'' which has ''Ishvara-consciousness'' as its subject animating soul. Pure consciousness of Brahman descends into or becomes ''Ishvara - self'' with ''Avyakta'' as the body. Thus, at that stage of evolution the ''Avyakta'' is the "causal body".
