“I am your cousin and equal to you. Do not speak like this!” Arjuna replies with this verse. You are beyond prakrti. “By prakrti do you mean ignorance or maya?” Distancing your self from maya composed of both vidya and avidya, unfortunate because it is your external sakti, you are situated in your spiritual form along with your auspicious cit-sakti arising from your svarupa who is like your principal queen. “But since I am the cause of the spiritual energy I am different from it. How can it be situated in my form?” It is one with you (kaivalye). Though it is with you, it is one with you, because it is your svarupa-sakti. Factually you are situated in spiritual form. This cit-sakti arising from your svarupa is always non-different from you, and is situated in the form of your body, senses and associates. Sruti says parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca: the Lord has many intrinsic energies called knowledge, strength and action. Maya is only a shadow and remains in the form of the material world composed of three gunas and knowledge and ignorance, because it does not arise from your svarupa.

It (Maya) is different from you, though it is somewhat non-different from you, being your sakti. Thus this sakti is different and non-different from you. The idea that maya is the only sakti is rejected.
