Why do people worship Shakti?

[Shri Jayesh Pandey asked: Dandmat Pranaamam Datta, with my head on one of Your right toe and Your other leg beneath my heart, lying down flatly at Your feet. Datta, why people worship Shakti? You also gave the deeksha to bhagwan Parshurama of Devi Tripura Lalita Sundari, although she is the purusha embodied in female form, when he came to You for Brahma Jnana. Please shower Your divine grace and blessings by Your answers and let us all imbibe the divine knowledge.]

Swami Replied:- Even in the phase of creation, you can’t separate the power from the possessor of power like sunlight from sun. In the unimaginable domain, both power and possessor of power are unimaginable. Any number of unimaginable items result only in one unimaginable item. Hence, actually, Shakti called Yogamaayaa or Mahaamaayaa and Parabrahman (unimaginable God) are one and the same unimaginable God or unimaginable divine power. All these dramas acted by God Datta and His incarnations like Parashuraama are only to preach this humanity and you should take them as roles only and not as the actor. There is only one basic actor, God Datta, Who is playing in different roles to preach the devotees through audio-video technique.
