Pratisanchara and Manah

                                Pratisanchara and Manah 

    The centripital activity of the Macrocosmic Nucleus is known as Pratisanchara. The fundamental factors of this phenomenonal world are five in number. They are kshiti ( solid) ap ( liquid) Tejas ( luminous) maruta (aerial) vyoma (ethereal).The process of transformation or metamorphosis of the singular self into these factors is called sanchara or samkrama. Sanchara is the process of analysis. In this analytical movement the infinite Macroeconomic Entity ( Niratisaya) gets transformed into innumerable finite entity  (satisaya). 

    This pratisanchara is a synthetic movement and is centre seeking or introversial in character. It's movement is from the crude towards the subtle having its culminating point in Purusottam. This course of pratisanchara is not just the reversal of sanchara, because had it been so , sanchara and pratisanchara would have come into conflict and distributed the equilibrium of the creative spirit.

      The static principle , or tamaguna , creates a sort of external pressure , as a result of which interial and exterial forces are created.  Whenever and wherever the resultant interial predominates , and structual solidarity of the physical body is properly maintained. The coordinated interial forces are known as pranah. 

 But vital energy is not the only effect of the constant fight between the interial and exterial forces.  That is transformed into subtler factors- subtler than all the five fundamental physical factors- the effect is known as " unit mind" or microcosm. 

   We find that within the unit structure the mind is a chemical reaction of physical clash, but this physical body is a creation of the Cosmic Mind.  Both have intellectual and supra -physical value. This intellectual unit mind controls the physical activities of the blind pranah of the unit structure.

    Matter is th e crudest manifestitation of chitta and chitta is a metamorphosed form of Cosmic Consciousness . The two subtler menifestations of Cosmic Consciousness, the Mahatattva and Ahamtattva , are in a dormant stage within the scope of chitta. So in the case of the unit also the initial mind created is not anything subtler than chitta, that is , in the mind of underdeveloped creatures and plants the major portion is nothing but chitta. Thus pranah and the mind working in collaborated cooperation maintain the structural solidarity in this divine march of pratisanchara. 

   This view is also supported by the materialistic schools of through. But materialistic philosophers fail to explain further, as they fail to expalin the rudimental cause of the matter. Ananda Marga philosophy penerates deeper into the ultimate cause of all the manifested effects and enunciates that matter is the metamorphosed form of Purusotattma- the Nucleus Consciousness existing as the noumeral cause.                

  Thus ,as a result of clash within the material structure, a subtle base is created, and this in turn turn gives rise to the formation of crude mind  The paralleism of these waves result in the corporative functioning by which the living structures, with their underdeveloper ego, cannot function independently, and theirfore they work requisite force for its movement in the journeyof pratishanchara on the path of pratisanchara the attraction of vidyamaya increases and the unit chitta goes on marching towards purusotattama.
