THE DIVINE MOTHER
“What child of Earth ever lived who has not dreamed dreams of a great and wonderful gift to be miraculously bestowed?…..”
“Realize Sakti as your Mother Divine; your spirit’s worshipful Queen Mother in your heart of hearts, as your innermost Self—Listen to the voice of Sakti in the temple of your heart.”
The most beautiful gem of the series.
Today, as never before, a cry of heart-hunger goes up from a humanity which has waited so long for a real understanding of all that, age after age, it has accepted, has striven to live for, has died for, yet has not fully understood or received. This great hunger-cry is not a cry for physical things but is the fulfilment of the days so long foretold of old: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.”

The great Divine Mother is not something apart from God, but a definite and necessary manifestation or expression of God as Divine Love. It is from this eternal truth that all great religions have recognized and immortalized the Mother-aspect of the Divine as co-equal with the Father-aspect. “Thus, we have Mary, the mother of Jesus; Myrrha, mother of Bacchus; Mair, mother of Hermes; Maya Maria, mother of the Siamese Saviour, Sommona Cadom; Myrrha, mother of the Greek Adonis; Maya, mother of Agni; Maya, mother of Buddha; Miriam, the prophetess—mother of Israel; Mizram, mother of Joshua; Minerva, the Virgin Queen,” and so forth.
In various philosophies there are many other names for the Divine Mother which indicate some of her attributes, such as the “Mother of Mercy and Knowledge, the Mother (fire), the Wife (water), and the Daughter (air) of the Logos; Shakti, the energy of the Essence of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It is also called Mulaprakriti (the root of Nature), also Electricity, both seen and unrevealed.” She is also called “the Divine Voice”; “God spake the Word and we were made.” She is also called “Akasha, the synthesis of all the forces of Nature and of all the magic potencies of Occult Sound in Nature and in Ether,” the gentle cooing or chirping of the mother bird calling to her young; also, that which we call the Soundless Sound, the inarticulate sound or voice of the bursting bud, the growing grain, the whisper of unseen waters.
