AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Is it correct to say consciousness is a form of energy – the shakti 🔥?

Consciousness is not equivalent to energy. Energy is power, Shakti. Consciousness is what drives the power along the routes it must take, chetana. Of course the two are together even in their distinction. Consciousness is the Knowledge inbuilt within everything whereas Energy is the power at the ingrained in every element.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
