The Divine Mother is with pure mind; She purifies the minds of Her worshippers and devotees.
She always has a pure mind. We understand external and internal things with our mind. Krishna says, “He is the mind in all things in life.”
Mind gives the direction for all five senses. When we hear rare, good
things, inner meanings of our hearing cannot be understood if our mind wanders elsewhere. The mind is working
with all five senses. Through their senses, humans get the resultant
achievements. There are as many amounts of mind as many humans in this
universe. Depending upon the colour of the glass, the external world is
exhibited. Again, depending upon the
state of the mind, all external scenes reach the mind in various forms. For all
evil-minded people, the whole world is bad but for the good-minded people, the whole
world looks good. Through exercises, evil mindedness can be corrected to good
mind is the life’s goal; as the mind is corrected towards good, the external
world starts to look good.
All shows in this universe are all same as the Divine Mother. For those who improve or correct their minds to see good, this fact that the Divine Mother is displaying truth that Herself as the universe coming to them. Being pure minded, the Divine Mother is teaching these good aspects to all yogis, and universal beings, as ever. Those who have their mind fully purified become yogis and they see the Divine Self of the Divine Mother.
She basically has a pure mind as ever. The purity of our mind is spoiled by our previous Vasana or Karma from earlier births. In each birth our mind is desiring such as happiness and sorrow. But these are linked to our earlier births’ Karma. These spoil thinkings of our minds in current birth. The Divine Mother does not face such ill effects; She is beyond happiness and sorrows following Her. She is as ever pure minded.
Pure mind as Krishna says in Gita (II.45) “The Vedas deal with three gunas. O Arjuna, free yourself from the three gunas, from pairs of opposites and ever remain in sattva Guna free from all thoughts of acquisition and preservations, and be established in the Self.”
The ritualistic section of the Vedas deals with three gunas and the desires for the fruits, which always remains in performance of such rituals. The true fulfillment in life is to become free from pairs of opposites and abide in truth constantly. Turning the mind away from actions that are rooted in three gunas and fixing it on the Self with everlasting bliss is true upliftment. Remaining in that state gives purity of mind. When a mind in that state, it is devoid of three gunas and is the essence of the Self. That state, reached by a long process of restraint and sadhana, is the final experience of the Self, the state of external abidance in truth. Since the Divine Mother is constantly in that state, She is called Suddha Manasa or pure minded.
The
Divine Mother is with pure mind; She purifies the minds of Her worshippers and
devotees.
