Purusha Sukta (Rig Veda 10.90)A thousand heads hath Purusha, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet. On every side pervading earth he fills a space ten fingers wide. This Purusha is all that yet hath been and all that is to be; The Lord of Immortality which waxes greater still by food. So mighty is his greatness; yea, greater than this is Purusha. All creatures are one-fourth of him, three-fourths eternal life in heaven. With three-fourths Purusha went up: one-fourth of him again was here. Thence he strode out to every side over what eats not and what eats. From him Viraj was born; again Purusha from Viraj was born. As soon as he was born he spread eastward and westward o’er the earth. When Gods prepared the sacrifice with Purusha as their offering, Its oil was spring, the holy gift was autumn; summer was the wood. They balmed him as a victim on the grass, a man with seven enclosures, With thrice seven pieces of fuel. With Purusha as oblation the Gods performed the sacrifice. From that were born the spring, the summer, and the autumn. From that great general sacrifice the dripping fat was gathered up. He formed the creatures of the air, and animals both wild and tame. From that great general sacrifice the Rig and Sama Vedas were born: From it were born the metres, from it the Yajus was born. From it were horses born, from it all cattle with two rows of teeth: From it were generated kine, from it the goats and sheep were born. When they divided Purusha, how many portions did they make? What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet? The Brahman was his mouth, of both his arms was the Rajanya made. His thighs became the Vaisya, from his feet the Sudra was produced. The Moon was gendered from his mind, and from his eye the Sun had birth; Indra and Agni from his mouth were born, and Vayu from his breath. Forth from his navel came mid-air; the sky was fashioned from his head; Earth from his feet, and from his ear the regions. Thus they formed the worlds. Seven fencing-sticks had he, thrice seven layers of fuel were prepared, When the Gods, offering sacrifice, bound, as their victim, Purusha. Gods, sacrificing, sacrificed the victim; these were the earliest holy ordinances. The Mighty Ones attained the height of heaven, there where the Sadhyas, Gods of old, are dwelling. I know not, nor have I heard of him who is the Purusha’s creator. Only the Gods know him who is the highest.

One very deep fact I'd like to share- "Purush" not only means a male but more often has been used, by the old wise ones, for the one who is aware i.e. who has realised that I am the pure awareness in this creation.. that's why it has been used for even Devi (feminine) many times.

The world thinks it understands Vedic Philosophy.. It doesnt. You cannot grasp a tiny bit of it and stay the same as before .

The imagery of Bhagwan from Dharm shastras is unparallel across the world. No one else has ever has the capacity or the higher awareness to describe Him as is done here.
