Pravritti and Nivritti

There is being, "x", which is manifesting itself as both mind and matter. Its movements in the seen are along certain fixed lines called law. 
As a unity, it is free; as many, it is bound by law. Still, with all this bondage, an idea of freedom is ever present, and this is Nivritti, or the "dragging from attachment". 

The materialising forces which through desire lead us to take an active part in worldly affairs are called Pravritti
