Adya Shakti : is the Supreme Consciousness & Power above the universe & it is by her that all the Gods are manifested, & even the supramental Ishwara – the supramen¬tal Purushottama of whom the Great Gods & Goddesses are Powers & Person¬alities. ― “Brahmā, Vishnu, & Shiva, are only three Powers & Personalities of the One Cosmic Godhead.” [SABCL 22: 390] – At X’s conscientious hesitation between Krishna and Shiva and Shakti I could not help indulging in a smile. If a man is attracted by one form or two forms of the Divine, it is all right, but if he is drawn to several at a time he need not torment himself over it. A man of some development has necessarily several sides in his nature & it is quite natural that different aspects should draw or govern different personalities in him: he can accept them all & harmonise them in the One Divine & the One Ādya Shakti of whom all are the manifestations. [SABCL 22:384-85; 23:521-22]
