Dreadful power & wrathful love
Q: Kali is Krishna revealed as dreadful Power and wrathful Love.
She slays with her furious blows the self in body, life and mind in
order to liberate it as spirit eternal.

Shall we complain when we see this helpless little “ego” disappear-
ing and giving way to a luminous spark capable of understanding
the universe?
(CWM:10:356) The Mother

Canst thou see God in thy torturer and slayer even in thy moment
of death or thy hours of torture? Canst thou see Him in that which
thou art slaying, see and love even while thou slayest? Thou hast
thy hand on the supreme knowledge. How shall he attain to Krish-
na who has never worshipped Kali?
CWSA 12: 499 Sri Aurobindo

Q: Who can bear Kali rushing into the system in her fierce force and
burning godhead? Only the man whom Krishna already possesses.

This is a charming and most expressive way of saying that only the
conscious Divine Presence is capable of mastering and conquer-
ing all violence.
(CWM:10:279) The Mother
