The Creator and creation are not two; they are inseparable and the same. When you Realize this, you will know the mysteries of creation, how it is all happening. It looks very complex, beyond our comprehension, but actually it is very simple. If you reach that pinnacle of wisdom—the fifth kosha in yogic terms—mysticism and alchemy become a simple thing for you to understand. That is where you are lord—not over others or Lord of the universe but lord in your own self as supreme. Nothing is hidden from you. And you achieve this simply by being a child of Divine Mother.

N THE RELATIVE PLANE, She is benevolent, She is the protectress, She hears, She helps, She removes obstacles, She nurtures, and so on. But in the Absolute sense, Divine Mother becomes part and parcel of your expression and manifestation. That is your ultimate, true, absolute identity. And therefore Divine Mother, illusion, supreme energy and matter are at your fingertips, a part of you, from you, existing in you and you existing in That. The division is lost and that is the full, satisfying Realization. Losing nothing, gaining nothing—Purnamada purnamadam purnat purnam udachyate purnasya purnama daya purnameva vasishyate—“From perfection comes perfection. If you remove anything from perfection, still it is perfect.” You live in perfection, you die in perfection, everything fulfilling and satisfying.

      It is within that you awaken, that you avoid the clouds of perception and conception and get to the Absolute called in Sanskrit, Kevalya. When you awaken this way, it’s all Divine; it’s all conscious play; it’s all your True Being. There was no non-being. So let’s not waste energy in mental pursuits that don’t mean anything. The easier way is to go directly to Divine Mother. Since we are in the phenomena and phenomenal beings ourselves—our body, mind and vital—we can only start from where we are. And that is the Mother we worship, Shakti, Divine Energy.
      As we are now, we meditate, we focus on the Goal, but still it is illusion. You are imagining something—God or the Cross or Om or Light. You are taking shelter under that very illusion which is Divine Mother. And then with the help of this illusion you focus and gradually you will see that She goes on revealing more and more—more than you would have thought or imagined. She knows everything because She is everything. Only you as a child have to merge into That. Just be like a child, simple and innocent, and approach Her. Don’t tell Her you know a few things but now your boat is stuck, “so please tell me only this much.” What if that point is connected with many other points? You cannot isolate a point and corner the Mother: “Don’t touch my other points!” Even if you understand something, who is giving a guarantee that you understand rightly? What if your whole understanding is built upon fallacies? So when you honestly approach God or Divine Mother, They are going to open your whole file. That is why you are afraid to approach. The truth is that God or Divine Mother already knows everything. You are hiding from you, blinding yourself only. And in order to make your blindness successful you resist, you get skeptical. And that is a tragedy.
