The Veiling Brilliance: The ruler of the moving and the unmoving

[Guest guest]

" Protect the universe, O Devi,

who are the ruler of the

moving and the unmoving. "

 

- from the Narayanistuti, Devimahatmya 11.3-35

 

The sage Medhas said:

 

The moving is the universe, which the Mother has set in

motion. It is her Shakti, transformed and revealed

through every name and form. The unmoving is the

Absolute, the ground of all existence. The Mother rules

over the relative and the Absolute. She is both, and she

is beyond both. She transcends even that final

distinction in her inconceivable oneness. [....] She is the

ultimate power, and beyond that purity of consciousness

there can be nothing else.
