Yogis distinguish between Infinite Spirit (Brahman) and Shakti, the force which creates the universe. Ramakrishna Ananda explains the need to honor Shakti and this life force flowing within us.
In yoga, we pay particular attention to the life force. We attune with that energy and consciousness which gives us life. As seekers appreciate Shakti and harmonize with it, more Shakti fills them, manifests in their lives, and flows through them. It’s very helpful to propitiate Shakti in transforming one’s lower nature. All yoga endeavors involve an appreciation, respect, and honoring of Shakti.
