Paush Amavasya 2025: Do These Most Powerful Rituals For Closure On The Final Amavasya Of The Year
Goddess Kali-Shakti And Brahman
Kali here, Kali there and Kali everywhere! Sri Ramakrishna dissolved Himself in Mother Kali. He experienced Mother Kali, in both the absolute and the ephemeral. The Master's words of wisdom pierce through the misconception of considering Kali, the Shakti or the primeval power as unreal, deeming Brahman alone as the eternal truth (the Brahman).
The Brahmajnanis are of the view that creation, sustenance and dissolution; the living beings and the universe are all the leela or the sport of Shakti ( Divine Mother, Power, Creation) which they reduce to an illusion. The formless Brahman (the absolute) alone is the truth while Shakti is a fleeting dream.
Sri
Ramakrishna
by
His
words
of
wisdom
bridged
the
gap
between
the
two
as
one
integral
whole.
The
Master
points
out
that
recognition
or
belief
in
one
invariably
implies
the
belief
in
the
other.
He
illustrates
the
aforesaid
truth
that
fire
and
its
burning
sensation,
milk
and
its
whiteness
and
sun
and
its
rays
are
inseparable.
One
cannot
think
of
fire,
milk
or
the
sun
without
conceiving
simultaneously,
the
burning
power,
whiteness
and
the
rays.
Its
an
integrated,
inseparable
whole.
The Master further clarifies the point that any activity happens in the realm of Shakti, for even the 'Brahman' is discussed within it. Brahman(the absolute) cannot be contemplated apart from it. He says, “You may reason a thousand times, but without attaining the state of Samadhi (Read to know Samadhi) you cannot go beyond the jurisdiction of Shakti!"(Courtesy: Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamirta, Section II)
Sri Ramakrishna says, the power of Brahman arising from it creates, preserves and dissolves. Hence Brahman is Goddess Kali, and Goddess Kali is Brahman, the same substance. “ When She is inactive neither creating, nor preserving, nor destroying, I call Her Brahman. When She performs all these activities I call Her Kali, I call Her Shakti. The Being is the same, only the names and forms are different!" (Courtesy: Sri Sri Ramakrishna Kathamirta, Section II)
Sri Ramakrishna illustrates the truth with the term, 'Jal', 'Water' or 'Pani'. The Hindus drink it from one ghat and call it 'Jal'. The Muslims drink from another and call it, 'Pani' and the Europeans drink it from yet a different ghat and call it 'Water'. It all means the one and the same substance.
Thus some call the ultimate Allah, some call it Goddess Kali, Durga (Manifestation of Durga), or Rama and yet others, Jesus. All means the same.
A must read for not only those debating with philosophical jargons without opting for experiencing the essence and the humanity at large for a harmonious living where communal riots are at its height.
