Ma is Durga ; Ma it is, who is Kali.

Ma is Durga ; Ma it is, who is Kali.

“You understand the Mother now”, said the Yogi. “It is this Mother who gives you blood, breath and life. She is capable of conception, creation and deliverance. But she can draw blood too, cause suffering; even death, as a holocaust shadow, depending on her form. It is the same fire that illumines, and the same that consumes the pyre. But actually, whatever she does, is for your growth. In order to strengthen you, she weakens you first. And after the holocaust, she can make you rise like the phoenix. Verily, She can make you the phoenix even without the holocaust. You must understand this and invoke her benefactions intelligently, by resonance, by being yourself benevolent.
