Mother As I Saw Her – Swami Saradeshananda
The Mother’s Way of Teaching – 05
How simple her instructions were! She would say: “Is the Master a ‘part’ of some ‘whole’! No, He is the ‘whole’, the complete, the full. Brahman is the ‘whole’, without anything else beside Him. There is nothing existing but He. Everything that appears before us is the manifestation of Brahman, of His Power (Sakti). It is His Power that is manifested as all Deities and is worshipped through them. Brahman alone is the Purusha, the Male supreme, the Infinite and the Absolute Being; He is also the Prakriti or Sakti, the glorious Female, the source of this universe of multiplicity. The Master only harmonised all the spiritual traditions, never upset them”
[Mother As I Saw Her (Being Reminiscences of Holy Mother Sarada Devi) – Swami Saradeshananda. Translated by Prof. J. N. Dey. Sri Ramakrishna Math, Mylapore Madras-600004: p 104]
