This is the power or force
which brings about that "continuous adjustment of internal relations to
external relations" which is the essence of life according to Herbert
Spencer, and that "continuous adjustment of external relations to
internal relations" which is the basis of transmigration of souls or
punarjanmam (re-birth) according to the doctrines of the ancient Hindu
philosophers.
A Yogi must thoroughly subjugate this power or force before he can
attain moksham. This force is, in fact, the great serpent of the Bible.
Matrikasakti:--Literally the force or power of letters or speech or
music. The whole of the ancient Mantra Shastra has this force or power
in all its manifestations for its subject-matter. The power of The Word
which Jesus Christ speaks of is a manifestation of this Sakti. The
influence of its music is one of its ordinary manifestations. The power
of the mirific ineffable name is the crown of this Sakti.
Modern science has but partly investigated the first, second and fifth
of the forces or powers above named, but it is altogether in the dark as
regards the remaining powers.
