Whatever is created in this universe, and in many universes, is the work of the Adi Shakti.... The Adi Shakti is the one who embodies the desire of God Almighty.... But Adi Shakti, being the Mother, She had Her own way of expression, that She thought She must create the mirrors for God Almighty to see His face, to see His image, to see His character and that is how this long range of evolution took place. This evolution had to work out this way because they had to know from where they came. We must know that we come from nature.... The seeking also is given to you by Adi Shakti.... If you leave it to this all-pervading power of Divine Love, to this power of Adi Shakti, Paramchaitanya, nothing is difficult, nothing is so bad that you cannot manage.... This power of the Adi Shakti, which we call Paramchaitanya, is the power that loves you. It has complete control of nature. It understands. It thinks. It knows everything. Everything about you, it knows. It works in every angle, in every walk of your life.... And what is Adi Shakti? It is the will of God. (Shri Adi Shakti Pujas 1996 & 1994)

Wikipedia

In Hinduism, Shakti (from Sanskrit shak, "to be able"), also spelled as Sakthi or Shakthi, meaning "power" or "empowerment," is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe. Shakti is the concept, or personification, of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as 'The Great Divine Mother' in Hinduism. As the mother, she is known as Adi Parashakti or Adishakti. In her avatar as Akshara Mandhapati, her power is her uncontrollable energy. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility, though it is also present in males in its potential, unmanifest form.

Hindus believe that Shakti is both responsible for the creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psychospiritual force.

Shakti embodies the active feminine energy of Shiva and is identified as Tripura Sundari or Parvati.
