Iccha

The Sanskrit word Iccha refers to will or desire. In its cosmic usage, Iccha is one of the three primal and all-pervading Shaktis, the other two being Jnana (knowledge) and Kriya (action).

Within the International Nath Order, Iccha is Will—personal will as a power. It is one side of the triad of occult accomplishment: Will, Knowledge, and Action. That triad is not the same as Insight, Intuition, and Imagination, the three super faculties. It is also not Svecchachara, which names a way of acting by one’s own will. Iccha is the current of will itself. It is worked in sadhana toward Siddhi. The three Shaktis are listed together on Keywords.
