Inspiration of Chinnamasta

[Guest guest]

In his wide sky she built her world anew;

She gave to mind's calm pace the motor's speed

To thinking a need to live what the soul saw

To living an impetus to know and see

His splendour grasped her, her puissance to him clung

 

She crowned the Idea a king in purple robes,

Put her magic serpent sceptre in Thought's grip,

Made forms his inward visions's rhythmic shapes

and her acts the living body of his well.

A flaming thunder, a creator flash,

His victor Light rode on her deathless Force

A centaurs mighty gallop bore the god

Life throned with mind, a double majesty.

 

Sri Aurobindo

 

From the Ten Great Cosmic Powers:

 

One effective way of Sadhana is to see the light instead of the object. That is,

whatever a person perceives, he should not concentrate on the object of

perception, he should concentrate on teh Light that makes the object

perceivable. Another powerful method is to imagine a constant downpour of

lightning from the high skies and submit the whole body, mind and self to it in

absolute dedication and surrender.

 

 

 

I find this passage a challenge to see things differently and to remember the

freedom that comes from complete dedication to Shakti.
