199. Sarvaśaktimayī
She is omnipotent.
Śakti can be interpreted as energy or force or potency. Potency implies a latent energy. She is the power of the consciousness which can create, move and annihilate the world by a mere thought.
The world is a thought in the Supreme Mind of the Mother. Just as we dream dreams, the Supreme Mother dreams up these worlds. Her dreams are awakening states. When we wake up from our waking states, we get into the awakened state of Mahaśakti. This is called Sarvaśaktī.
