Para Shakti and Apara Shakti are not separate but are two aspects of the same divine energy. Para Shakti represents the unmanifested, transcendent reality, while Apara Shakti represents the manifested, immanent reality. Together, they form a complete understanding of the divine power that pervades and animates the universe.
In spiritual practice, the journey involves moving from the understanding and mastery of Apara Shakti, the worldly energy, to the realization of Para Shakti, the supreme energy. This progression leads to a deeper understanding of the self and the cosmos, ultimately culminating in the experience of oneness with the Absolute.
