The peculiarity of Mother's path is that once you have enrolled yourself you may from time to time get tired, disheartened and leave of exertions and return to lethargy or natural slow evolutionary progress and to the laissez-faire policy but She would not leave you. She will make you get up and She will not leave you until you have done your evolutionary work. She will drag you and drive you whether you will or not till you finally reach your goal.

This reminds me of a funny story about Maayaa. 

Once two disciples of a sage on a river bank saw in the river flood something like a black blanket being dragged away. Naturally, in their poor condition and cold winter, one of them was tempted. He went into the river, caught the blanket but could not come out and the poor fellow was bawling out and was being dragged away downstream. Seeing the danger the other disciple on the bank shouted out instructions:- 

" Kamaliku chhoda do " = " Leave off and let go the blanket ".

He answered, " Maai ne to chhod diyaa hai, magar kamali muze nahi chhodati " = " I have long since let her go, but she does not leave me. "

The fact was that what looked like the blanket was a black she-bear.

Such is Maayaa, such is woman and such is Mother. The wisest man's wisdom lies in securing their Grace and saving themselves.

My friend Sharadbhai S. Desai came to scoff one day. He jocularly told me " Will you not give a picture of Mother to me for worship ?" I could not deny, but once I gave him I had to apologise to Mother after his departure least he might instead of worshipping simply hang the picture in a line with Gohar Jan ( Actress ) or some other cinema star. He scoffingly ran " in the river for the blanket."

What is man's most tempestuous and rebellious nature before Mother's Grace! Obligations over obligations, miracles after miracles, made the wolf to be the lamb. Marriage got settled, money for marriage came forth, earning avenue opened up, enemies became friends.

After only a fortnight, Mr Desai who is a very humorous man came to me and very laughingly told me," I came to scoff, but your Mother has caught me from the neck, lifted me up and made me walk on the thread line She laid out".

 I answered him laughingly " Kamali nahi chhodegi ". कमली नही छोडेगी "The blanket will not leave you ". Kamali कमली is also the diminutive name of Kamalaa कमला, one of the names of Mother.

(943) Udaara-kirti उदारकीर्ति  - Giver of exalted fame.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 848

(945) Prabhaavati प्रभावती - Luminous. She is so, being with luminaries of so many deities, Siddhis, Sun, Moon, Fire etc. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 393

(946) Prabhaa-roopa प्रभारूपा - In the form of brightness. The possessor is also the quality itself.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 394

(947) Tejovati तेजोवती - Full of splendour (fairly constantly like the Sun). ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 452

(948) Kaantimati कांतिमती - Full of radiance ( charging and twinkling like fire and stars).ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 465

(949) Ojovati ओजोवती - Spreading the wonderful aura. Ojas is explained as the eighth substance in the constituents of the body, being more precious than even semen and is the aura which surrounds the religious persons and deities. It is what is shown by a circle of light around the face of the deities in pictures. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 767

Some explain Ojas as the vitality of senses. Ojas means light, splendour, strength and radiance.

(950) Dyuti-dharaa द्युतिधरा - The Light-bearer. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 768

This name supports the teaching. "Leave yourself to Her and She will do the do the rest." She will bear the light in the dark night on the unknown way and lead Her devotee safely and soundly to the goal.
