We hear in the West about worshipping woman, but this is usually for

her youth and beauty. This man meant by worshipping woman, that to

him every woman's face was that of the Blissful Mother, and nothing

but that. I myself have seen this man standing before those women

whom society would not touch, and falling at their feet bathed in

tears, saying, " Mother, in one form Thou art in the street, and in

another form Thou art the universe. I salute Thee, Mother, I salute

Thee. " Think of the blessedness of that life from which all carnality

has vanished, which can look upon every woman with that love and

reverence when every woman's face becomes transfigured, and only the

face of the Divine Mother, the Blissful One, the Protectress of the

human race, shines upon it!
