For men to fully understand women and for women to realize their nature and be it, both have to come to understanding of the Shakti, the Goddess, or the Kundalini energy, the feminine of the Universe. The nature of this phenomena is very complex, but if you get friendly with her it will tell you her secrets. There is no forceful way to her, she will be only furious in reply, or depressed, or tricky. Love and playfulness, sincerity and innocence are her ways. She can be innocent about dirtiest things in the world, but responsible and protective like mother as well. She has few main aspects you have to understand and she can play different roles at different times. Woman, she is the: mother, home keeper, lover, destroyer. She is the mother of all, and of you, too; She is a cuddly and warm, protecting you from the troubles of the world and emotional turmoil, a healer. She is the beautiful maiden, the vessel of desire and passion, and she is the bitch who can destroy you better than anybody else. All goddesses of the world are manifestation of Shakti, the mother of All, who has many names and forms. In Indian folklore, for example, Tara is a healer, who qudes you safely through emotional flouds, Shodashi is the beautiful ever-young maiden who loves you, and Kali is the destroyer, who, however, help you to overcome ignorance and fear of death. They all are aspects of the Goddess.
According to Hindy spiritual tradition, Goddess also is associated with Shakti, Maya and Prakrti.
Shakti, the Basis is the underlying power of the divine, the aspects of the divine that permits and provokes creative activity, a creative force, personified as goddess. Goddess as Shakti: the male gods contribute their strength and rigor to the goddess, who epitomize power, action and strength in the battle with the demon. Durga is action and power personified and as such is a fitting representation of the idea of shakti.
Maya , the Delusion is the power that deluded an individuals into thinking themselves to be the center of the world, the power that prevents individuals from seeing things as they really are. It impels individuals into self centered, egotistical actions. These clouds the underlying unity of reality and masks one essential identity with Brahman. Can be as either positive or negative energy.Goddess as Maya : In madhu and Kaitabha, she deludes the demons so that Vishnu can slay them. In Mahisa, she enters into the battle more of divine play `lila', fighting with the demons because it pleases her, not our of sense of compulsion.
Prakriti is the physical world as well as he inherent rhythms within this world that impel nature to gratify and provide itself in its manifold species. She Is both primordial matter from which all material things come and the living instincts and patterns that imbue the material world with its proclinities to sustain and recreate itself in individual beings. Goddess as Prakrti : In Devi Mahatmaya it states that Durga is the world, and as the earth itself, she conveys cosmic stabililty. She is Sakambhari : she who provides the world with food from her own body. She is the foundation of all creatures and that which nourishes all creatures. In her role as cosmic queen, warrior goddess and demon slayer, Durga in effect protects herself in her aspect as the earth itself.
According to Eastern Asian path of spirituality, Spirit, or Shen, which is a God within has a Yang (male) quality and has been defined as the force behind consciousness and thought.
Essence, or Jing, has a Yin (female) quality and is defined as the force within the body that is the basis of all growth, development and sexuality. This is the Goddess.
The Goddess way in life:
Everything in life can be done in two ways: with force or with love. Both can lead to success, only the second way is more pleasurable, it's a way of passion, of desire, of Shakti, of Goddess, while theforceful method is more attributed to the male way; the path of battle with yourself and a war with the rest of the world. In the feminine approach, where the earnings of spirit and body all merged together and directed toward a single goal. By taking this path, you always succeed; the only thing- you cannot fake it. Or, I want to have a perfect body, but I hate to work out, but I am going to force myself to go to gym 3 times a week. You can force yourself for a few weeks and be miserable, and fail. Or you might want to try to fall in love with working out, with the very process of it, become passionate about your fitness and adopt the way of Shakti, the Love, towards your goal. This will ensure you will look great until the time you die. Shakti, in all of us, doesen't like be controlled, or pushed, or rushed; she is the woman in all of us, the Goddess. Treat her well, embrace her and she will give you enough love to succeed in every worthy inspiration.
