SAAKAT
Literally: one who worships Sakti (Shakti, power).
In Samkhya philosophy, there are two centres of all power (energy): Shiv (Purush, God) and Shakti (Prakriti, power of Shiv). According to this School, the whole creation takes place when they are in copulation with each other. In other words, both, without each other, are inactive, non-creative, and insufficient. This concept means God is not omnipotent as He is dependent upon Prakriti for creation or any other action.
In Hinduism, there is a Shakti cult, which worships Shakti; they too are known as ‘Shaakt’. They are also known as worshippers of Shiva.
According to Guru Granth Sahib a Saakat is one who is a non-believer (in God). A Saakat believes in black magic, occult power and other heretic activities. Sikhism condemned the Saakats in very strong words:
Never keep the company of a Saakat
Run away from him from a (long) distance, because
You will be stained if you come into contact with a ‘black utensil’.
(Guru Granth Sahib, 1371)
A svine is better than a Saakat because by eating dirt,
A svine keeps the village clean,
But nobody thinks of the poor Saakat (even) after his death.
(Guru Granth Sahib, p. 1372)
