In Chandogya Upanishad, at one point, it says: The
paramAtmA is full of all karmas, all desires, all fragrance and all tastes. It
desired – ‘akAmayata’ - and that is how the One became the Many as said in
Taittiriyopanishad. Not finding any satisfaction in being alone, it wanted a
partner and this desire resulted in it becoming two as pati and patni - so says
Brihad-Aranyakopanishad (I -4- 3 ). Those two were the father and mother of the
entire human race, according to the same Upanishad.
The BrahmasUtra
(II-1-30) also says: ‘sarvopetA ca tad-darshanAt’ - The Upanishads say
that the paramAtman is thus endowed with
all Shakti.
