It is the individualised expression of the divine Will; and the divine Will is the expression of the divine Consciousness seeking to manifest itself, to realise itself. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/8-december-1954#p18,p19 </ref>

...Prakriti, an inert and mechanical self-driven operation, inconscient or conscient only by the light of Purusha, elevated by various degrees, vital, mental, supramental, of his soul-illumination of her workings. If we look at her on her other internal side where she moves nearer to unity with Purusha, she is Maya, will of being and becoming or of cessation from being and becoming with all their results, apparent to the consciousness, of involution and evolution, existing and non-existing, self-concealment of spirit and self-discovery of spirit. Both are sides of one and the same thing, Shakti, power of being of the spirit which operates, whether superconsciously or consciously or subconsciously in a seeming inconscience,—in fact all these motions coexist at the same time and in the same soul,—as the spirit's power of knowledge, power of will, power of process and action, ''jñāna-śakti, icchā-śakti, kriyā-śakti''. By this power the spirit creates all things in itself, hides and discovers all itself in the form and behind the veil of its manifestation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/24/the-psychology-of-self-perfection#p6</ref>
