Conclusions
 
Evolution is the transformation of Prakrti into physical
things and the psychical apparatus for the experience of
the bound souls. The evolution is teleological. Every things
works to serve the purpose of the Purusa though
unconsciously. This purpose(end) is either worldly
experience (bhoga) or liberation (apavarga). It is only
knowledge which leads to liberation because bondage is
due to ignorance and ignorance can be removed only by
knowledge. The Jiva has to realize itself as the pure Purusa
through discrimination between Purusa and Prakrti. Purusa
is free and pure consciousness; when it realizes its own
pure nature , it gets liberated which in fact it always was. In
this manner the purpose of evolution is achieved its goal.
