Mystic Mantra: Woman is shakti, but chanchal
Every woman, as the embodiment of shakti, has three aspects to her — creation (janani), preservation and destruction. Suppression of any of the three aspects results in imbalance, causing the woman to fall ill. It’s not without reason that the incidents of cancer are so high in women. A man, if he understands all these three aspects of a woman and nurtures them, can never go wrong. He will always be successful. A home where all the three aspects of a woman are nurtured, such a home prospers. Nothing wrong can touch it.
Every day, too, can be divided into three parts — each corresponding to a specific aspect of shakti. In fact, the vedic science of havan also talks about performing havan three times in a day, before the sun sets corresponding to the three aspects of shakti. However, a havan is performed long after the sunset, because there is a fourth aspect, which has in it the essence (samavesh) of all the three aspects of shakti. One must not forget that shakti runs the creation. A man cannot do anything without shakti. Therefore, when a man performs a havan, he needs to have the shakti (whether his mother, daughter, sister or wife) to be seated on his left. A havan is incomplete if there is no presence of a woman.
While a woman is shakti, the nature of shakti is chanchal. An imbalanced woman is like a bomb, a bomb which when explodes, first destroys itself and then everyone and everything around it. In fact, when women get emotionally volatile, the first thought that comes to them is, “let me kill myself”. Ask any woman and she will confirm that her first thought in such a state is that of committing suicide. There are two aspects to creation: The “force” inside a woman has the ability to self-destruct or be channelised towards positivity. The latter assures entitlement to acquire plenty of good karma that she can direct towards higher plane, like evolution. But the former is also a strong possibility in the absence of a guru.
