The image/idol of ‘Kali’ in different viewpoints
From one viewpoint –it is embodiment of the universe-existence with universe mind (Kali as Supreme Being), and Original Being (Shiva as Paramatma).
In another viewpoint, the idol of ‘Kali’ is embodiment of our subconscious mind and ‘Shiva’ is embodiment of our conscious mind.
If we see more deeply and consciously, will be able to see the real picture. The complete idol of ‘Kali’ is the embodiment of two co-mind existences of Universe-mind or God mind.
One is subconscious mind of God, and another is conscious mind of God. Embodiment of this conscious mind is idol of Shiva, and embodiment of subconscious mind is idol of ‘Kali’ –‘MahaMaya’.
There, Original Being (Paramatma) is not present in this picture. It is hidden into all existences.
As a part of God –like a child of God, in the sphere of your mind, two active co-mind existences are present there. If you are able to observe them, you can feel their existences and activities. One is like Shiva and anther is like Kali.
