What Is the Difference Between Shaakteya and Atheists?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[Shri Anil Antony asked: The sect of devotees of power (Shaakteya) end in the first item of creation, which is the Adi Shakti. The primary energy or space is Durga as per them. Athiests also say so. Then what is the difference between Shaakteya and atheists?]

Swami replied: The energy mentioned by Shaakteyas is inert, which is the external medium and the internal awareness exists in both Adi Shakti and Shri Durga. The energy mentioned by atheists is simple inert energy. The Shaakteya religion introduces both these forms of inert energy not only pervaded by awareness but also by the unimaginable God. In atheism, the awareness evolved only at some later stage and not in the beginning. Atheists do not accept the unimaginable God proved by the unimaginable miracles. Both these deities are energetic incarnations of unimaginable God. Science feels that energy is the primary entity existing in the beginning stage of creation. Space is considered as inseparable form from matter, standing as the integral part of creation and is actually nothing or geometrical as per the idea of Albert Einstein. However, we feel that space is very subtle form of energy called as primary energy. This primary energy and its various forms like matter, radiation, awareness etc., are represented by the deities and they are not the actual represented inert items. The Veda says that the space is the first item of the creation, which is relatively true with respect to unimaginable God. The first phase of the creation is the existence of space without matter (Atmana aakaashah…). Science feels that the space is relatively true with respect to matter. The relativity of space with respect to God is the philosophy of Shankara and the relativity of space with respect to matter is the philosophy of Einstein. The first will of God is represented by the three faced Durga. Face of Saraswati stands for awareness and space. Face of Lakshmi stands for awareness and the inertia (rest mass) of inert energy. The radiant dynamic form of inert energy stands for the face of Gowri. The background of this first will is unimaginable God only.
