भगवान शिव को पुरुष का प्रतीक और देवी शक्ति को प्रकृति का प्रतीक बताया गया है। भगवान शिव बताते हैं कि यदि पुरुष और प्रकृति के बीच सामंजस्य नहीं होगा तो संसार का कोई भी काम सही तरीके से संपन्न होना असंभव है।
शिव ओर शक्ति मे तत्व से कोई भी अन्तर नही है शिव परब्रह्मम चेतन ओर शक्ति शिव से प्रकट शिव का ही प्रकृति सवरूप है प्रकृति को जड़ भी कहा जाता है यह संपूर्ण संसार चेतन शिव व जड़ उनके प्रकृति सवरूप का ही मिलन हो कर विस्तार है। अतः शिव का प्रकृति /शक्ति /नारी रूप ही शक्ति है।
