Purusha

The Cosmic Spirit, the eternal and efficient cause of the universe that gives appearance of consciousness to all manifestations of matter (prakriti). The bondage of Purusha in matter is due to ā€˜Iā€™ ā€” consciousness born of Chitta-vrittis, which give rise to innumerable desires.

Rajas Motivity, activity, energy, ( ra(n)j, to be coloured, affected, moved). One of the three constituents of the Cosmic Substance ( sattva, rajas and tamas) without which the other two could not be manifest. In Yoga-egoism.
