Sri RamaKrishna tells Relation between Brahman and Sakti

[Guest guest]

No one can think of fire without thinking of its burning power. Again, the

power of burning cannot be conceived as separate from fire. In the same

manner, we

cannot think of the rays of the sun, without thinking of the sun himself.

Again, we cannot think of the sun without thinking of his rays.

 

Therefore, no one can think of Brahman as apart from Sakti, or Sakti as

separate from Brahman. Likewise, no one can conceive of the phenomenal as

independent of the Absolute,or of the Absolute as apart from the phenomenal.

The same Eternal Energy, the Mother of all phenomena, is creating,

preserving, and destroying everything.

 

She is called Kali, the Divine Mother. Kali is Brahman, Brahman is Kali, one

and the same Being. I call Him Brahman when He is absolutely inactive; that

is,when He neither creates, nor preserves, nor destroys phenomena; but when

He performs all such actions, I call Him Kali, the Eternal Energy, the

Divine Mother. They are one and the same Being, the difference is in name

and form, just as the same substance water is called by different names in

different languages, such as jal, aqua, pani, etc. [p. 151]
