Q: Is it the Purusha who consents to the action of the Mother's Grace in the whole being?
A: Yes.
Q: If the Purusha does not give consent, does it mean that the other beings also cannot come to the front to enable the Sadhak to receive the Mother's Grace?
A: No. The Purusha often holds back and lets the other beings consent or reject in his place.

Q: When the Mother's Grace comes down to the Sadhak, is it by the consent of the Purusha?
A: What do you mean "by the consent"? The Mother's Grace comes down by the Mother's will. The Purusha can accept or reject the Grace.
