It needs the devotional aspect, no doubt. Those who say “we lack in devotion” have to wait. Not that devotion is better, or rationality is better than devotion. There are certain aspects like devotion, humility and faith that are the ornaments of the seeker. Thinking is only part of it. Ultimately faith, humility and devotion will carry you forward because that is the way you open up. “Open up” meaning what? Your strength comes back to you. You receive and your energy begins to surge up from your own spine. And as you grow higher and higher and higher, Divine Mother comes in Her own form to you. She gives Her vision. She is as realistic as you could see. I am not evangelizing. Whether you recognize Her or not, She exists anyway. We have to see with different eyes though. She can come and talk to you. She can really play with you. You may not believe it but that is true. She can lead the way. She can remove your obstacles. She can solve your problems. She can heal disease. It depends how you have faith. She can make things easy for you. She can do wonders. I would easily say She is my Goddess but She’s my Brahman too. She’s my Absolute Supreme. I see no difference.
 

N THE MATERIAL WORLD, THE DUALISTIC WORLD, She can make your accomplishments possible. Of course, I do not mean you should every time pray to Her: “Give my business success; give me money.” She can do those things too, but you will soon lose your own capacities if you go on asking for such things only. She can play with you, walk with you, talk to you. You will be surprised. You become the purest soul possible. She can do that with every one of us.
      How many mothers are they? Just one. She has that supreme manifestation capacity. She can assume innumerable forms according to each one’s own choice. Since we forgot about this aspect of God, we have been hovering in darkness. You can give Divine Mother the form you want. I am not giving you one form. I have got my own. You can choose any you like. And when you go to Divine Mother, go like a child. You cannot be great and ask Mother for boons. You have to be a child. And She solves everything. Whether you have ego problems, negativities, bad times, desperation, frustration, losses or health problems, approach Her like a child. Whenever you are in tension or pressure or difficulties, just be childlike and pray. You will see how your tensions subside. Miracles have happened.
