Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute is one, and one only. But It is associated with different limiting adjuncts on account of the different degrees of Its manifestation. That is why one finds various forms of God.
The devotee sings, 'O my Divine Mother, Thou art all these!' Wherever you see actions, like creation, preservation, and dissolution, there is the manifestation of Śakti. Water is water whether it is calm or full of waves and bubbles.
The Absolute alone is the Primordial Energy, which creates, preserves, and destroys.
- Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna, P 277 (19 August 1883)
