Shakti and Maya: Shiva
pervades the whole world by Shakti. Shiva works through Shakti. Shakti is the
conscious energy of the Shiva. Shiva is the first cause of the world. Shakti is
the instrumental cause. Maya is the material cause.
Shakti is not the material cause of the universe, because Shakti is of the nature of consciousness (Chaitanya). Shiva is pure consciousness, but matter is pure unconsciousness. Shakti is the intermediate link between the two.Shakti is the reflex of Shiva. Both Shiva and Shakti has no independent existence.

Like sun and its rays
Shiva and Shakti co-exists.
PATI (PARA BRAHM or God),
PASU (Jiva Athma or Individual Soul)
PASA, Three impurities (Karma, Ego, Illusion)
and the 36 Tattvas or principles of creation of universe are REAL.
To remove all three impurities (PASA) and to realize Sadasivam, consciousness of SIVA.
One needs Absolute Devotion and Surrender to a
Human Guru like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa / Ramana Maharishi or
Human Form like SANKARA through Bhakti Yoga.
Once Realized soul experiences 'Supreme silence', 'Being still', 'Quiescence of mind'
SHANKARA; The Blue human form with Moon in the Head, Snake around the neck, is Just a symbolism created by Ancient Seers as a result of their severest austerity and profound contemplation, to Realize and Merge with THE FORMLESS SHIVA(PARA BRAHM or God). This IMAGE (Shankara) is often widely misunderstood as SHIVA itself.

Finally Abraham /
Allah / Buddha / Ganesh / Jesus / Mahavira / Shakti / Shiva / Skanda /
Vishnu........ all are subjective and ultimately false conceptions of the
Formless Undifferentiated Absolute ParaBrahm or SUPREME REALITY that is
GOD.
Yet with Primitive Consciousness and comprehension perceived through senses, humans need a MEDIUM (Abraham / Allah / Buddha / Ganesh / Jesus / Mahavira / Shakti / Shiva / Skanda / Vishnu.........) to realize that GOD.
Thus all MEDIUM are all ONE AND THE SAME. Names are various. Practices are different.
