AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

What is inner Shakti present in a man (Kundalini) and what is her relationship with outer abundance of energy (divine mother) that exists in the universe. While worshiping whom to invoke – Shakti sitting in Muladhara or the outer Shakti that exists in the cosmos♾?

The Shakti at the base of the Spine is the Power of the Divine Mother that is completely involved in matter. In man there is the possibility of awakening it by exercising conscious will. The energy that we experience all around is also the Power of the Divine Mother in her cosmic form as Maya or Prakriti, universal Nature. 

We don’t have to invoke either but the Shakti in Her Supreme Aspect which is above creation itself, as the Shakti of the Creator or Ishwara, the Divine Mother Herself and not her cosmic powers or Kundalini Shakti. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I completely understand your situation. Unfortunately it is far too common and a problem quite universally. An ancient saying goes that children of the same family are rarely born under the same roof. The family is a beginning and a base but most of us turn it almost into a goal. Each soul brings its own destiny. Two persons living in the same house need not have the same degree of inner evolution. They may be not only in different …
