Shiva and Shakti's concept is so ancient, but it's not so easy to understand, so here is one article to understand more deeply...

The idea that the great male gods all possess an inherent power through which they undertake creative activity is assumed in Hindu philosophical thought. When this power, or Shakti, is personified, it is always in the form of a goddess. Parvati, quite naturally, assumes the identity of Shiva's Shakti. In this active, creative role she is identified with prakriti (nature), whereas Shiva is identified with purusha (pure spirit). As prakriti, Parvati represents the inherent tendency of nature to express itself in concrete forms and individual beings. Through Parvati, Shiva (the Absolute) is able to express himself in the creation. Without her he would remain inert, aloof, inactive. It is only in association with her that Shiva is able to realize or manifest his full potential. Parvati as Shakti not only complements Shiva, she completes him.

A variety of images and metaphors are used to express this harmonious interdependence. Shiva is said to be the male principle throughout creation, Parvati the female principle; Shiva is the sky, Parvati the earth; Shiva is subject, Parvati object; Shiva is the ocean, Parvati the seashore; Shiva is the sun, Parvati its light; Parvati is all tastes and smells, Shiva the enjoyer of all tastes and smells; Parvati is the embodiment of all individual souls, Shiva the soul itself; Parvati assumes every form that is worthy to be thought of, Shiva thinks of all such forms; Shiva is day, Parvati is night; Parvati is creation, Shiva the creator; Parvati is speech, Shiva meaning; and so on. In short, the two are actually one-different aspects of ultimate reality-and as such are complementary.

湿婆神和萨克提的概念非常古老，但并不容易理解。这里有一篇文章能帮助理解得更加深入……

印度哲学思想认为，男性神祇都能从他们承担的创造活动中汲取内在力量。这种力量，也被称作萨克提（Shakti）人格化以后，总是以女神的形象出现。帕尔瓦蒂（Parvati）非常自然地被视作湿婆神（Shiva）的萨克提。正因为肩负着这种积极的、富于创造力的角色，帕尔瓦蒂也被称作原质（prakriti），也称作“自然、天性”，与之相对应，湿婆神被称作原人（purusha），也就是纯粹精神。“原质”帕尔瓦蒂代表了万事万物天性中无从改变的固有趋势，通过帕尔瓦蒂，湿婆神这一至上存在得以显现他自身为万事万物。如果没有萨克提之力，他将维持在未被激活的停滞状态。只有与帕尔瓦蒂相结合，湿婆神的全部潜能才能被认识和显现。帕尔瓦蒂作为萨克提之力，不仅是湿婆神的补充，更使之完整。

众多的画作和隐喻描绘着这种琴瑟合鸣的互相依赖。自万物创生开始，湿婆神就被视作是至关重要的阳性能量，而帕尔瓦蒂则是与之相对应的阴性能量。湿婆神是天空，帕尔瓦蒂是大地；湿婆神是主体，帕尔瓦蒂是客体；湿婆神是大海，帕尔瓦蒂是海岸；湿婆神是太阳，帕尔瓦蒂则是万丈阳光。帕尔瓦蒂是所能尝到和闻到的一切，而湿婆神就是这一切的主人。帕尔瓦蒂是万物之灵的显现，湿婆神则是灵魂本身。如果帕尔瓦蒂是脑际划过的思维火花，没有湿婆神，那些火花从何而来？湿婆神是白昼，帕尔瓦蒂是黑夜。帕尔瓦蒂即万物，湿婆神就是那造物主。帕尔瓦蒂用来传情达意，湿婆神正是拳拳真意……简而言之，湿婆神和帕尔瓦蒂，他们是至上存在无可分割的一体两面。

Namaste,

Manu
