SPIRITUAL COMMENTARY

 

Oh Mother! You are the Supreme Mother for the millions of universes You have

created, but You are also my very own Mother constantly showering me with the

indescribable nectar of Your affectionate love. Those arrogant demons who went

against the natural order of Your Creation were behaving in a truly despicable

manner, causing agony to Your innocent children. Though You see all beings as

Your children, if one of Your children is harming their brothers and sisters,

You will act to discipline that child. Out of compassion You gave those demons

the boon of so many chances to correct themselves. Because they could not

appreciate Your magnanimity and continued in their vicious ways, as the last

resort You were forced to take action, for it is Your sacred and cherished duty

to protect the worlds You have created.

 

Mother, You must protect me by never allowing any arrogance to enter my heart,

for I know that without Your grace nothing at all can be accomplished! You have

the most beautiful peaks of the Himalayas for Your home, but Your favorite

residence is in the pure hearts of Your true devotees. Those who have

contented, peaceful, forgiving hearts, and who see Your holy form shining in

all creatures are eternally graced by Your presence. You love to play and sport

in Your true devotees' hearts, and You dance in their faces in the form of the

sweetness of their smiles and the divine light in their eyes. You guard those

devotees as closely as the eyelid guards and protectes the eye.
