Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 364 Shri Chid eka rasa rupini (OM chidekarasarUpiNyai namaH)

In Namams 275 to365, the Divine Mother’s  many forms providing benefits to Her devotees in great details are discussed. 

The Divine Mother is in pure intelligence form; She is the cause of knowledge. 

Brahman has many explanations. Since it is there always, it is eternal. Chit and embodiment of truth are same. Brahman is anantham and also embodiment of truth. Chit is Parasakti. All these are the implications in this Namam. 

Meditation is helping to reach the Brahman. 

The Divine Mother has many forms. All these are in Chit, the Jnanasakti form. A toy made of sugar paste can be in many forms but the fundamental is sugar or the taste is sugar. Likewise, the Divine Mother is in many forms, yet She is always in Chit state. There is no difference to Chit and the Divine Mother’s rupa. 

Chit which is pure intelligence is the attribute of the in conditioned Brahman. The conditioned and unconditioned (saguna and nirguna) Brahman are not really different. They are indicated as different due to conditioning. In essence, both are same. The Divine Mother is that single essence as this Namam implies.

   The Divine Mother in Chit rupa.
