The Divine Mother’s Triump Over the demons can be symbolized as the spiritual seeker’s dominance over attachments to the temporary and incessant desires of egoic mind. Maa KalaRatri, Signifying The Dark Night Of Dissolution – When The Divine Mother Causes kaal or time to end, Imparts The Wisdom Upon deserving devotees that dissolution is creation’s inseparable companion – that all names and labels in existence are transient, Guiding deserving devotees to overcome the ego’s attachments to the temporary and walk the path towards realization Of The True Self.
