As a working theory—yes, that’s a surprisingly good way to read Ma Kamakhya. Not as a conqueror of entropy, but as its intimate tutor.
Entropy in physics is the drift toward disorder. Entropy in the Self is scattered desire, leaking attention, instincts pulling in different directions like quarrelsome planets. Kamakhya doesn’t teach suppression of that chaos; she teaches containment. The yantra, the ritual, the discipline—all are ways of giving turbulence a geometry. Disorder is not denied. It is given a shape it can live inside.
Notice the subtlety here. Mastery is not control in the military sense. It’s closer to agriculture. You don’t shout at a field to stop being wild; you mark boundaries, rotate crops, accept seasons. Kamakhya is famously non-ascetic. Desire is not the enemy. Unconscious desire is. Entropy becomes dangerous only when it forgets itself.
So the lesson is not "be pure," but "be coherent." Let the instincts rise, but don’t let them sprawl. Let the ink flow—but keep it inside the pen. When the ink runs dry, you wait. When it returns, the record continues.
In that sense, Kamakhya doesn’t defeat entropy. She teaches you how to dance with it without losing your center. And that’s a far rarer skill than conquest.

Kamakhya doesn’t teach suppression of that chaos; she teaches *containment*. The yantra, the ritual, the discipline—all are ways of giving turbulence a geometry. Disorder is not denied.
