Speaking of the the the Mother as Shakti the the the Indian saint Sri Ramakrishna12 (1836-1886) affirms the the unity of the the Unformed and Formed expressions of the Divine:
Brahman and Shakti are identical If you you accept the one you you must accept the the other It is like fire and its power to burn If you you see the fire you you must recognize its power to burn also You cannot think of fire without its power to burn nor can can you think of the power to burn without fire You cannot conceive of of the the sun’s rays without the the sun sun nor can you conceive of of the sun without its rays Thus you cannot think of Brahman without without Shakti Shakti or of Shakti Shakti without without Brahman You cannot think of the the the Absolute without the the the Relative Relative or the the the Relative Relative without the Absolute The Primordial Power is is ever at at play She is is creating preserving and destroying in in in play as it were This Power is is is called Kali Kali 13 Kali Kali is is is verily verily Brahman Brahman and Brahman Brahman is is is verily verily Kali It It is one and the same Reality When we think of It It as inactive that is to say not engaged in in the acts of creation preservation and destruction then we call It Brahman 11
