The Energy of Science is part of jada prakriti or material nature. Just like matter itself it is unconscious in itself and acts by a mechanical compulsion. The problem of this paradigm is that it cannot explain the emergence of consciousness nor evolution, nor even the presence of order. Of course there are all kinds of explanations but all are inadequate. This puzzling paradox is known in the scientific circle as the Consciousness Conundrum.
Spirituality starts from the other end. According to the spiritual experience the Energy operating in the cosmos is in its core Conscious Energy, Shakti. That is to say that Shakti knows itself and its workings in creation are purposeful even though they seem random to the limited human mind. Because it is fully conscious it can create order out of chaos, make consciousness emerge out of apparent unconscious matter, open the limited human mind to limitless infinite expansion into a superconscient state. This explains all the gaps in our understanding of Energy and evolution of consciousness that are left unanswered by the material science.
This of course is the difference in general between the Energy of the material scientist and the Shakti of the spiritual scientist. There are of course many details that need to be discussed separately. But in the closing one can say that according to the spiritual science, it is the spiritual or rather supramental Divine Energy, Shakti that has become the material Energy and all other forms of Energy by a process of self-limitation by its inherent power to build forms. This power inherent in Shakti is called as Maya.
