Shakti and Shiva

People do want to know deeply the importance of soul and the prakriti . This also has been illustrated in various scriptures that the soul is Brahman . Body contains five elements from prakriti , material , water, fire ,space and air . After the death only body remains leaving the soul . Living entity always feel that there is some power which helps performing the actions positively or negatively . Some believe in praying to god and put their demands but it is not possible in case of other creatures , so prayer can not be said as universal . It has also been observed that many people get help from some unexpected sources and term them as luck or bhagya . Miracles are often observed done by unidentified sources . This type of lively helps are transmitted from one soul to other soul and we say that the frequencies match them . This indestructible energy which affects the different living entities is called soul or shakti and it is Brahman or Vishnu . It is the active energy which warns time to time for good or bad happenings and one who is spiritual in nature, feels and finds .
The second factor governing the earth is prakriti . Prakriti has its own balance and maintains it . It is non living in nature therefore no prayers or any disturbances made in it are sustained by it . During maintaining its balance nobody can predict or preserve the changes made by human . Disturbances in upper layer of earth , under the earth or in oceans are its regular phenomenon . All the living entities are dependent on the prakriti therefore it is called the shiva or the root cause of the welfare for all . Science deals only with the properties of material of prakriti . During medical treatment the living entity maintains the body with the help of materials from prakriti , similarly other scientific developments are the subject of the materials from prakriti .
The universe is running with these two powers shakti and shiva .

Attaining spirituality comprises two ways .1. worship or bhajan pujan . 2. meditation or fixing the mind in god .

essence of spirituality is IDOL WORSHIP , why , see here
tama āsīt tamasā ghūḷamaghre.apraketaṃ salilaṃ sarvamāidam |
tuchyenābhvapihitaṃ yadāsīt tapasastanmahinājāyataikam || 3/129/10 rig
Darkness there was: at first concealed in darkness this All was indiscriminated chaos.
All that existed then was void and form less: by the great power of Warmth was born that UNIT.
Here the term unit is considered most important , it's study is called BHUMA , perceving the infinite brahman as a small point as symbol or idol .

The thought in vedic aspect
dvā suparṇā sayujā sakhāyā samānaṃ vṛkṣaṃ pari ṣasvajāte |
tayoranyaḥ pippalaṃ svādvattyanaśnannanyo abhi cākaśīti ||
yatrā suparṇā amṛtasya bhāghamanimeṣaṃ vidathābhisvaranti |
ino viśvasya bhuvanasya ghopāḥ sa mā dhīraḥ pākamatrā viveśa ||
yasmin vṛkṣe madhvadaḥ suparṇā niviśante suvate cādhi viśve |
tasyedāhuḥ pippalaṃ svādvaghre tan non naśad yaḥpitaraṃ na veda || 20,21,22/164/1 mndlm rigveda

Parastasmaat tu bhaavo’nyo’vyakto’vyaktaatsanaatanah;
Yah sa sarveshu bhooteshu nashyatsu na vinashyati.20/8 gita

The soul which is the super soul [ parmatma ] as having two fair wings in the body is made to produce the children and when it keeps busy itself eating the fruits of life can not understand the originality of the mercy of the self .
Tatah padam tat parimaargitavyam
Yasmin gataa na nivartanti bhooyah;
Tameva chaadyam purusham prapadye
Yatah pravrittih prasritaa puraanee.4/15 gita
Then that goal should be sought after, whither having gone none returns again. Seek
refuge in that Primeval Purusha whence streamed forth the ancient activity or energy.
That which fills the whole world with the form of Satchidananda, is
Purusha. That which sleeps in this city of the body is the Purusha. Single-minded devotion, which
consists of ceaselessly remembering the Supreme Being, is the surest and most potent means of
attaining Self-realisation.

मनोबुद्ध्यह्न्कार चित्तानि नाहम ,न च श्रोत्र जिव्हे न च घ्राणनेत्रे
न च व्योम भूमिः न तेजो न वायुह , चिदानंद रूपः शिवोहम शिवोहम . १
न च प्राण संग्यो न वै पञ्च वायुह , न वा सप्तधातुर्न वा पंचकोशः
न वाक् पानिपादौ न चौपस्थ पायू , चिदानंद रूपः शिवोहम शिवोहम . २
न मे द्वेष रागो न मे लोभ मोहो , मदों नैव मे नैव मात्सर्य भावः
न धर्मो न चार्थो न कामो न मोक्षः ,चिदानंद रूपः शिवोहम शिवोहम . ३
न पुण्यं न पापं न सुखं न दुखम , न मंत्रो न तीर्थं न वेदः न यज्ञः
नहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता , चिदानंद रूपः शिवोहम शिवोहम . ४
न मे मृत्यु शंका न मे जातिभेदः , पिता नैव मे नैव माता न जन्म
न बन्धुर्न मित्रं गुरुर्नैव शिष्यः , चिदानंद रूपः शिवोहम शिवोहम . ५
अहम् निर्विकल्पो निराकार रूपों , विभु व्याप्य सर्वत्र सर्वेंद्रियानाम
सदा मे समत्वं न मुक्तिर्न बन्धः , चिदानंद रूपः शिवोहम शिवोहम . ६
