|description=Explained by the Orientalists as “plastic substance”, which is an inadequate definition. Svabhâvat is the world‐substance and stuff, or rather that which is behind it — the spirit and essence of substance. The name comes from ''Subhâva'' and is composed of three words — '''su''', good, perfect, fair, handsome; '''sva,''' self; and '''bkâva''', being, or ''state of being.'' From it all nature proceeds and into it all returns at the end of the life‐cycles. In Esotericism it is called “Father‐Mother”. It is the plastic essence of matter. {{ctd-source|TG}}. | |description=Explained by the Orientalists as “plastic substance”, which is an inadequate definition.
