Just as principial Maya is bipolarized into Purusha and Prakriti, so manifested Maya comprises two poles, namely the active and imaginative demiurge and the passive but efficient Substance; it is this materia prima which is the tohu wa bohu of Genesis or the khaos – the “void” – of Hesiod’s theogony. Let it be noted that the Greek word khaos has the double meaning of “primordial abyss” and “indeterminate matter”; it is neither nothingness pure and simple nor a substance preceding the creative act, but, together with the demiurge, the first content of creation; the active demiurge being the center, and its passive complement, the periphery. This two-fold demiurge constitutes the creative power in the midst of creation itself. [GTUFS: SurveyME, Creation as a Divine Quality]
