The only course left is to hang on to the manifestation, the creation, the Mother, the illusion. Make a good deal with that first. Without this energy aspect, you and I would not exist! We can talk nonsense against dualism, but the very power of the mind to condemn—that needs energy. It comes from where? You forget that. When we think, “I can do it!” we are misusing the little power we have, the little strength we have. Therefore such souls come to frustration, desperation, loss of peace, because they are using their power and strength, which is the Mother, dualism itself, to condemn the same. It is betrayal: the very power we use to condemn is the very power that sustains us to do that. You see the point? So when such souls arrive at the realization of the inseparability of both—the shakti and the Source of shakti—after achieving Oneness they come back to love the world, love the universe, love the people—compassionate, kind, forgiving. All this comes after Realization, which means they are not rejecting anymore. The rejection was an ego trip, trying to be superior.
      There is not much difference between Divine Mother with form and without form. She assumes form because we are in forms; we are not just vibratory clouds floating around—shapeless abstract art! The tragedy—and it is a very comic tragedy—is that whereas you and I hover around with form, with all the nonsense, beauty and ugliness in it, within that we condemn the form of God or Goddess. You see the fallacy of ego’s thinking? Since you and I have form in this duality, God and Goddess also have forms, naturally. How could They be without form and only you and I have form? That would mean we are more supreme, in a way. If God and Goddess have no form, then your and my form have no meaning either. If God’s form has no importance, why are you in a form?

      This is why we preach humility so much. It is not just meekness, weakness, servitude or simply lying low. We preach humility just to bring you to your senses. Your own form is very divine, very sacred, very important, very solid, tangible and covetable, but God’s form has no meaning? Those who have an iota of understanding would know that Divine Mother or Divine Father, as you put it, have as much form, solid and tangible, as you and I have. It could not be otherwise. How would you communicate otherwise? How would you reach that power and strength? Some say, “Oh, God is a force only.” And you are a body? Boy! How did you get it in the first place? Your father, mother? Okay, from where did they get it? Go back to your grandparents and great-grandparents and all lineages—from where did they all get their bodies?

N GOING DEEPER YOU WILL SEE, how It creates Itself. If we were the creator of our body, we would have long back been masters and lords. Our body would have no diseases; we would have been in full knowledge and control of it and we would play with it as we like. But that is not so. The body is ruling us! Ninety percent of our time and energy is wasted only in taking care of the body, maybe ninety-nine percent! And still you suffer. You, the creator of your own body, having formed the supreme which even God cannot do, and your suffering is out of your hands? Try to think how mind and ego play. This is where we say: start with the realization that nature is as divine as the One Who created it, and inseparable from it. That is why we take recourse to Divine Mother.
