Mother (Part-2).

The four embodiments.

Mother is the divine conscious force, which dominates all
existence. She is one but appears in different aspects
differently. There are three ways of being of the Mother,
which are revealed when one enters into communication with
the Conscious Force that upholds man and the universe.

Transcendent, the original Supreme Shakti (Power) is the
first embodiment. She is located above the worlds and links
the creation to the mystery of the Supreme.

Mahashakti, the universal is the second. She creates all
these beings, contains and enters them, supports and
conducts all the million processes and forces.

The third is the Individual who embodies the power of these
two vaster ways of her existence. She is the link between
the human personality and the divine Nature.

The original transcendent Shakti is the Mother. She stands
above all the worlds and bears the Supreme Divine. She
plays with the Supreme. She is part and parcel of the
divine conscious-force. Nothing can happen without her
consent.

Nature is the most outer executive aspect of the universal
Mother, the Mahashakti. Each of the worlds is a play
created by the Mother as envisioned by her. The world of
ours is one of ignorance. The worlds of mind, life and
body, are all separated in consciousness from their source.
This imperfect world of ours is also upheld by the
Universal Mother and guided by it.

The Mother, the Mahashakti of this world of ignorance
stands in an intermediate plane. The mounting and
descending hierarchy of planes of consciousness is like a
double ladder going into inner Matter and emerging out of
it through the flowering of life into the infinity of the
Spirit. All the scenes of the earth are dramas of which she
is not only the director but also a veiled player, cosmic
gods acting as her assistants.

She descends into the lesser triple world. Because she has
consented to the great sacrifice and put on like a mask the
soul and form of ignorance, they survive. She has entered
into the darkness to lead to light. In her great love for
her children she has agreed to don the cloak of even the
prevailing obscurity and has taken the trouble of passing
through life and death. This is the great sacrifice.

There are four great aspects of the Mother and they are
briefly described in the following paragraphs.

The first one, imperial Maheswari is above the thinking
mind and will. She is great and calm. Since she is the
storehouse of all wisdom, nothing can move her. She gives
wisdom to the wise, admits visionaries to her counsels,
punishes the hostile with appropriate hostility and leads
the ignorant according to their blindness. She is full of
compassion for all the creatures of her creation. To each
man she gives as is required by him as per his nature, be
it wisdom or freedom to perish in ignorance since her
compassion does not blind her wisdom. But her aim is to
build our soul and our desire into the divine Truth.

Her second aspect is Mahakali. This aspect represents force
and strength. She is the crusader and deals with severity
anything connected with ignorance and obscurity. Mahakali
is swift, straight and frank. She is also the Mother; her
love being as passionate and as intense is her anger. The
great, strong and noble worship her for she uses their
material forcefully to strength. She gives the conquering
might to knowledge and shortens the period for making a
thing effective.

Apart from Wisdom and Force, The Mother manifests herself
in the eternal beauty, universal charm and attraction. This
is the third aspect of the Mother and is called
Mahalakshmi, the most attractive to the embodied beings.
Maheswari is too calm, Mahakali too formidable but
everybody looks at Mahalakshmi with joy. She brings
unfathomable bliss and harmony. She cannot tolerate the
ugly and mean, base, poor and sordid, squalid, brutal and
coarse. She likes love and beauty. She brings Divinity on
man through the medium of love and affinity. She reveals
the mystic secrets of the ecstasy that surpasses all
knowledge when admitted to the heart. She reciprocates
devotion with passionate longing for the Divine. The charm
spread by her is all enduring and ever lasting.

Mahasaraswati, the fourth aspect of the Mother is related
to perfection and order. Youngest of the four, she is the
nearest to Nature. The science and technology are
Mahasaraswati?s forte. She rewards to her devotees the
intimate and precise knowledge, the subtlety and patience.
She wields the power of the efficient builder, organizer,
administrator, technician, artisan, classifier of the
worlds.

Human nature, limited as it is by its obscurity and ego is
unable to receive the other presences of the Mother. In
order that human nature can transform into the dynamic
divine nature, one should put oneself in the hands of the
Mother. Three qualities are required for this. They are
consciousness, plasticity and unreserved surrender.

But one should be on his guard not to judge the Divine
Mother by one?s little earthly mind. It is better to open
one?s soul to feel her. Mother will refuse to manifest
herself if you follow your mind. Follow your soul instead.
You must trust the Divine Power to free the godlike
elements in you to shape you into an expression of Divine
Nature.
