"This is the 'lower' Prakriti; different from it, know thou, O mighty-armed, My 'Higher' Prakriti, the very Life-element, by which this world is upheld"
Summary: The earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect, and egoism are actually the lower prakriti; the higher prakriti is the life element.
Therefore, Brahman actually supports everything with his higher prakriti, the life element. He makes everything what they are.
