Patriarchs have remembered, interpreted, and kept (their Divine Feminine inclinations) for themselves

The Holy Spirit-Shekinah

 

The Holy Spirit/Shekinah is frequently described as some mysterious,

creative power of God. But when we actually turn to that `Spirit of

God that dwells in us', She is mysterious no longer, for She is the

One that is present within us to give us that Second Birth.

Aykaa Mayee (The Mother)

 

Aykaa Mayee, jugat viaaee, tin chalay parvaan.

The Mother was conceived alone in some mysterious way and She

procreated three deities.

Ik sansaaree, ik bhandaaree, ik laa-ay deeban.

One was Creator (Brahma), one Sustainer (Vishnu), and one Destroyer

(Shiva) of the world. - Japji Sahib
