Shiva is merely symbolic represented as the Absolute unmanifest Spirit (beyond creation). Shakti is the name and symbolic form of the creative vibration of the great sound of AUM which is the foundation of all creation. Shiva is formless consciousness, Shakti is his dynamic energy (Lika/play) . Kundalini Shakti is that energy reservoir in Man. All souls are part and parcel of God (Purusha), all bodies are of Shakti, individual existence apart from God is avidya or ignorance and an illusion!!
