Poem by Kalidas
Sri Kundalini Shakti Mahadevi!
You delight in appearing clothed in many dresses.
Your lovers perceive your presence behind all your disguises.
You are the Amitabha, Prajnaparamitahrdayam, Avalokiteshwara and Her boundless compassion for the Buddhists,
The Holy Spirit, Sophia and Mary for the followers of Christ,
And the wine of ecstasy drunk by the Sufis.
You are the power in the yogi's diverse practices,
The devotion of bhaktas,
The sword of discrimination and the pure knowledge of Vedantins.
Your are the Shekhinah and her Source for the Kabbalists,
And the Tao of the Taoists.
Whatever our path to God, the power that carries us forward and the Illumination attained
Are alluring forms taken by you to draw us to the realization of the One.
Seeker, choose a path that most suits your temperament and give it your full attention.
Enjoy all the ways the Mother
Will reveal Herself and Her Spouse
To you
along
the way.
