Mahakali is of another nature.
Not of wideness but of
height, not wisdom but
force and strength are her peculiar power. There is
in her a overwhelming intensity, a mighty passion of force to achieve, a divine violence rushing to shatter every limit and obstacle.
All
her divinity leaps out in a splendour of tempestuous action;
she is therefore
swiftness, for the immediately
effective process, the
rapid and direct stroke,
the frontal assault that carries everything, before it.
Terrible is her face to the Asura, dangerous and ruthless her mood against the haters of the Divine; for she is the Warrior of the Worlds who never shrinks from the battle. Intolerant of imperfection, she deals roughly with all in man that is unwilling and she
is severe to all that is obstinately ignorant and obscure;
her wrath is immediate and dire
against treachery and falsehood and malignity,
ill-will is smitten at once by her scourage.
Indifference, negligence and sloth in the divine work
she cannot bear and
she smites awake at once
with sharp pain, if need be, the untimely slumberer and the loiterer. The
impulses that
are swift and straight and frank, the
movements that are
unreserved and
absolute, the aspiration that mounts in flame are the motion of Mahakali.
Her spirit is tameless,
her vision and will are high and far-reaching like the flight of an eagle, her feet are rapid on the upward way and her hands are outstretched to strike and to succour.
For
she too is the Mother and her love is as intense as her wrath and
she has a deep and
passionate kindness.
When she is allowed to
intervene in her strength , then
in one moment are
broken like
things without consistence the
obstacles that immobilise or the
enemies that assail the seeker.
If her anger is dreadful to the hostile and the vehemence of her pressure painful to the weak and timid, she is loved and worshipped by the great, the strong and the noble; for they feel that her blows beat what is rebellious in their material into strength and perfect truth, hammer straight what is wry and perverse and expel what is impure or defective.
But
for her what is done in a day might have taken centuries; without her Ananda might be wide and grave or soft and sweet and beautiful but
would lose the flaming joy of its most absolute intensities.
To knowledge she gives a conquering might,
brings to beauty and harmony a high and mounting movement and
imparts to the slow and difficult labour after perfection an impetus that multiplies the power and shortens the long way.
Nothing can satisfy her that falls short of the supreme ecstasies, the highest heights, the noblest aims, the largest vistas. Therefore with her is the victorious force of the Divine and it is by grace of her fire and passion and speed if he great achievement can be done now than hereafter.
Selection from "
The Mother" By Sri Aurobindo
Who can bear Kali rushing into the system in her fierce force and burning godhead ? Only the man whom Krishna already possesses-Sri Aurobindo"according to Sri Aurobindo and THE MOTHER,the power of Mahakali rarely descents(but a new conciousness..the new superman conciousness has an aspect that's ready "to strike",which imo,suggests the power of mahakali...[Yusufali 3:11] (Their plight will be) no better than that of the people of Pharaoh, and their predecessors: They denied our Signs, and Allah called them to account for their sins. For Allah is strict in punishment...[Yusufali 3:12] Say to those who reject Faith: "Soon will ye be vanquished and gathered together to Hell,-an evil bed indeed (to lie on)!...[Yusufali 3:18] There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise...[Yusufali 3:19] The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account..[Yusufali 3:26] Say: "O Allah! Lord of Power (And Rule), Thou givest power to whom Thou pleasest, and Thou strippest off power from whom Thou pleasest: Thou enduest with honour whom Thou pleasest, and Thou bringest low whom Thou pleasest: In Thy hand is all good. Verily, over all things Thou hast power
