Mahasaraswati

Mahasaraswati is the Mother’s Power of Work and her spirit of per-
fection and order. The youngest of the Four, she is the most skilful
in executive faculty and the nearest to physical Nature. Mahesh-
wari lays down the large lines of the world forces, Mahakali drives
their energy and impetus, Mahalakshmi discovers their rhythms
and measures, but Mahasaraswati presides over their detail of or-
ganisation and execution, relation of parts and effective combina-
tion of forces and unfailing exactitude of result and fulfilment. The
science and craft and technique of things are Mahasaraswati’s
province. Always she holds in her nature and can give to those
whom she has chosen the intimate and precise knowledge, the
subtlety and patience, the accuracy of intuitive mind and con-
scious hand and discerning eye of the perfect worker. This Power
is the strong, the tireless, the careful and efficient builder, organ-
iser, administrator, technician, artisan and classifier of the worlds.
When she takes up the transformation and new-building of the
nature, her action is laborious and minute and often seems to our
impatience slow and interminable, but it is persistent, integral and
flawless. For the will in her works is scrupulous, unsleeping, inde-
fatigable; leaning over us she notes and touches every little detail,
finds out every minute defect, gap, twist or incompleteness, con-
siders and weighs accurately all that has been done and all that
remains still to be done hereafter. Nothing is too small or apparently
trivial for her attention; nothing however impalpable or disguised or
latent can escape her. Moulding and remoulding she labours each
part till it has attained its true form, is put in its exact place in the
whole and fulfils its precise purpose. In her constant and diligent
arrangement and rearrangement of things her eye is on all needs
at once and the way to meet them and her intuition knows what
is to be chosen and what rejected and successfully determines the
right instrument, the right time, the right conditions and the right
