Sant Jnaneshwar - That/This - Shiva/Shakti

One of the most perfect expressions of this Experience of Being comes to us from Jnaneshwar, a 13th century saint who, although he lived only twenty-two years, left a profound impact on Hindu spirituality. In Jnaneshwar's writings, Shiva is the formless, unmanifest Absolute, and Shakti is manifest form. Shiva is "That", and Shakti is "This" -- all that arises in and as That. But the most precious gift of Jnaneshwar is his communication in words of the inexpressible truth that Shiva and Shakti are One. Shakti is merely unmanifest, objectless, unmoving Shiva, moving into and as form. Jnaneshwar brilliantly communicates this inexpressible truth through poetry, in which "He" is Shiva, and "She" is Shakti. (Chuck Surface)
