versal, the cosmic Mahashakti, she creates all these beings and
contains and enters, supports and conducts all these million pro-
cesses and forces. Individual, she embodies the power of these
two vaster ways of her existence, makes them living and near to
us and mediates between the human personality and the divine
Nature.
The one original transcendent Shakti, the Mother stands
above all the worlds and bears in her eternal consciousness the
Supreme Divine. Alone, she harbours the absolute Power and the
ineffable Presence; containing or calling the Truths that have
to be manifested, she brings them down from the Mystery in
which they were hidden into the light of her infinite conscious-
ness and gives them a form of force in her omnipotent power
and her boundless life and a body in the universe. The Supreme
is manifest in her for ever as the everlasting Sachchidananda,
manifested through her in the worlds as the one and dual con-
sciousness of Ishwara-Shakti and the dual principle of Purusha-
Prakriti, embodied by her in the Worlds and the Planes and the
Gods and their Energies and figured because of her as all that is in
the known worlds and in unknown others. All is her play with the
Supreme; all is her manifestation of the mysteries of the Eternal,
the miracles of the Infinite. All is she, for all are parcel and portion
of the divine Conscious-Force. Nothing can be here or elsewhere
but what she decides and the Supreme sanctions; nothing can
take shape except what she moved by the Supreme perceives and
forms after casting it into seed in her creating Ananda.
