Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 568: Shri Niyantri (ōṃ niyantryai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother controls and guides all beings on the right path. Essentially the Divine Mother controls all universal beings under Her command to follow the right way. 

She conducts all things in this universe in the right way. A human may slip out of good ways for a while; but later he would realize that his approach is not helpful to his. Sometimes in some births, he might have been out of right path. He would turn to correct path later. All people cannot follow evil ways always. Do we see the Sun or Moon changing from their right designated path? So many objects such as stars in the universe follow the correct path due to the Divine Mother’s rulings. She makes the universal things follow their prescribed path. These are all Her glories in keeping all beings in right path. 

An episode in Kena Upanisad states that the all-devouring Agni (Fire) was unable to consume even a blade of grass. Vayu (Air) which uproots everything could not move the blade of grass even the slightest bit. The burning power of the fire and the moving power of the air are nothing but Maya of Brahman. Everything in this universe is under the control of that Maya, the Divine Mother. This wisdom is revealed to Indra by the Divine Mother, Uma.

  The Divine Mother controls and guides all beings in right way.
