Shakti is Movement || Acharya Prashant

Shaki represents everything in motion, everything that can be experienced, everything that you can think of. Shaki represents the totality of that. If shi represents everything in motion, let’s begin with ourselves. Why does the mind move so much? Why does the individual never rest anywhere?

Consciousness moves and it moves in search of a final destination. A place where there is no movement at all. A place where there is no experience at all. The clock keeps ticking so that you can come to a certain and ultimate timelessness. We keep meeting people. Do we keep entering into relationships? Because we want to come to a point where there is no further need to look at any face or form.

That point is symbolically represented by Shiv. Shaki is movement. Shiv is destination. Those who are inclined towards having the right kind of movement worship Shy. Those who are inclined towards the destination, those who have fallen in love with the destination itself worship Shiv. The fact is that the two are inseparable.

She is the totality of all our experiences and spacetime does not exist for itself. It exists for the sake of its dissolution.
