among heavenly or earthly beings,
who can understand what Kali is?

are powerless to describe Her.
Is Mother a feminine being

Chanting Her transforming Name --

empowers Lord Shiva,
Who is transcendent Knowledge,

turning His Throat dark blue.
Without Her protection

even to the highest Divinity.
More than Creator and creation,
Mother is sheer Creativity

Universe and Father-God
are thrilling glances
from Her seductive Eyes.

She gives birth to manifest Being
from Her Womb of primal Awareness,
nursing it tenderly at Her Breast,

The world dissolves instantly
upon touching Her white Teeth,

of Her brilliant Voidness.
The various Divine Forms
that manifest throughout history

The Essence of Divinity,
the Great Ground of Being,

beneath Her red-soled Feet.
Is Mother simply a Goddess?
Does She need a male consort

The cycle of birth and death
bows reverently before Her.

or is She naked Truth?
No veil can conceal Her.
Her naked radiance slays demons

If Mother is a conventional wife,
why is She dancing fiercely
on the breast of Shiva?

conventions and conceptions.
She is primal purity,
Her ecstatic lovers are purity.

with no remainder.
I am totally inebriated
by Her wine of timeless bliss.

OM KALI OM KALI OM KALI.
Those drunk on ordinary wine
assume I am one of them.

Not everyone will encounter
the dazzling darkness
called Goddess Kali.

the infinite treasure of Her Nature.
The foolish mind refuses
to perceive and accept

Even the noble Lord Shiva,
most enlightened of beings,
can barely catch a glimpse

The wealth of world-emperors
and the richness of Paradise

to those who meditate on Her.
To swim in a single Glance
from Her three Cosmic Eyes

in an ocean of ecstasy.
Not even Shiva, prince of yogis,
can focus upon Her dancing Feet
without falling into trance.

who sings this mad song

during waking, dream, and deep sleep.
