In Namam 132 to 187, the Divine Mother’s Japarupam or
Formlessness will be the described.
The Divine Mother does not have any false imagination. She is
free from vikalpa.
Vikalpa is fake; something does not exist but shows up as being
real. The Yoga sutra defines Vikalpa as a notion described only by words for
which there exist no corresponding real object.
Kalpa can be meant to create something through imagination.
The following example will give an idea of vikalpa:
“Here comes the son of the barren woman, after a bath in waters
of the mirage, wearing sky-flower in his hair and holding a bow made of
rabbit-horns.” There are no barren women who can bear children; the sky exists
but there are no sky flowers; rabbits do not have horns. Therefore, these are
vikalpa statements.
Likes and dislikes are the vikalpa of mind. If the mind has
vikalpa, even good work, would look bad. On the contrary, With nirvikalpa mind,
worldly things would appear, what really they are.
Vikalpa can be said as
assumption; a non existing thing is assumed existing. Vikalpa is opposite of
liking.The mind may indicate something as existing but in reality is not existing.
Then the mind will start to look for non existing solution in such cases.
All such vikalpa ends at Nirvikalpa dhyana (a form of
meditation). Anything created by mind is not real. The Divine Mother has
unconditional and eternal knowledge. She is always at Nirvikalpa state. The
Divine Mother is pervaded Sastras; no sastra can negate Her. Then can be nothing
will happen against Her thinking.
She is Nirvikalpa.
