Many philosophies draw the conclusion that the Absolute must have overflowed in its superabundance, producing Shakti or awareness/intelligence. I tend to lean toward this approach, as it seems to be one of the only solutions to this paradox.Abundance seems to be the answer. Brahman and Shakti are not separated. It's one and the same.
Quote:The Adyashakti (Primeval Power) is not different from the Parabrahman (Supreme Brahman). You cannot think of the one without thinking of the other. For example, think of the gem and its lustre! If you do not hold a gem, you cannot think of its effulgence. Similarly, you cannot think of the gem without thinking of its brilliance. (Ramakrishna)
