The Dance of Shiva and Shakti

All creation is the ceaseless interplay of Śiva and Śakti — consciousness and energy, stillness and movement, observer and observed. Without Śakti, there is no life; without Śiva, there is no awareness. In every experience, this cosmic dance unfolds — in the pulse of the heart, the rhythm of thought, the rising of the sun. Spiritual realization is not the rejection of either aspect, but the union of both. When the inner dualities reconcile — masculine and feminine, logic and intuition, effort and surrender — the seeker enters the state of Ardhanārīśvara, the whole being in which opposites dissolve into harmony. This is yoga in its highest sense — not postures, but union.
