（由弟子S·E·沃尔多小姐记录）
一八九五年七月二日，星期二。（圣母。）
性力派将宇宙能量作为母亲来崇拜，这是他们所知最亲切的称呼；因为在印度，母亲是女性最崇高的理想。当神被作为"母亲"、作为爱来崇拜时，印度教徒称之为"右道"，它引人走向灵性，却从不通向物质繁荣。当神被从其可畏的一面来崇拜时，即所谓的"左道"，通常会带来巨大的物质繁荣，却很少通向灵性；最终它会导致修习此道的种族退化乃至消亡。
母亲是力量的最初显现，被视为比父亲更崇高的理念。伴随母亲之名而来的是性力的观念，即神圣能量与全能，正如婴儿相信母亲无所不能、无事不成。圣母就是沉睡在我们体内的军荼利（"蜷曲"的力量）；不崇拜她，我们便永远无法认识自己。大慈大悲、全知全能、无所不在，皆是圣母的属性。她是宇宙中一切能量的总和。宇宙中每一种力量的显现都是"母亲"。她是生命，她是智慧，她是爱。她在宇宙之中，又超然于宇宙之外。她是有人格的，可以被看见、被认识（正如罗摩克里希纳所见、所知的那样）。安住于母亲的理念中，我们无所不能。她迅速回应祈祷。
她能在任何时刻以任何形相向我们显现。圣母可以有形（色相）有名（名号），也可以有名而无形；当我们从这些不同的面向崇拜她时，便能上升到纯粹的存在——既无形相，也无名号。
有机体中全部细胞的总和便是一个人；同样，每个灵魂犹如一个细胞，其总和便是神，而超越其上的则是绝对者。平静的大海便是绝对者；同一片大海翻起波浪便是圣母。她是时间、空间与因果。神即是母亲，具有两重本性——有条件的与无条件的。作为前者，她是神、自然与灵魂（人）。作为后者，她不可知、不可识。从无条件者中生出了三位一体——神、自然与灵魂，这便是存在的三角。这就是限定不二论（毗湿奴特不二论/Vishishtadvaita）的理念。
母亲的一小部分、一滴化身为克里希纳，另一滴化身为佛陀，又一滴化身为基督。崇拜我们世间母亲身上母性的一星火花，便能通向伟大。若你渴望爱与智慧，便崇拜她吧。

(RECORDED BY MISS S. E. WALDO, A DISCIPLE)
TUESDAY, July 2, 1895. (The Divine Mother.)
Shâktas worship the Universal Energy as Mother, the sweetest name they know; for the mother is the highest ideal of womanhood in India. When God is worshipped as "Mother", as Love, the Hindus call it the "right-handed" way, and it leads to spirituality but never to material prosperity. When God is worshipped on His terrible side, that is, in the "left-handed" way, it leads usually to great material prosperity, but rarely to spirituality; and eventually it leads to degeneration and the obliteration of the race that practices it.
Mother is the first manifestation of power and is considered a higher idea than father. With the name of Mother comes the idea of Shakti, Divine Energy and Omnipotence, just as the baby believes its mother to be all-powerful, able to do anything. The Divine Mother is the Kundalini ("coiled up" power) sleeping in us; without worshipping Her we can never know ourselves. All-merciful, all-powerful, omnipresent are attributes of Divine Mother. She is the sum total of the energy in the universe. Every manifestation of power in the universe is "Mother". She is life, She is intelligence, She is Love. She is in the universe yet separate from it. She is a person and can be seen and known (as Shri Ramakrishna saw and knew Her). Established in the idea of Mother, we can do anything. She quickly answers prayer.
She can show; Herself to us in any form at any moment. Divine Mother can have form (Rupa) and name (Nâma) or name without form; and as we worship Her in these various aspects we can rise to pure Being, having neither form nor name.
The sum total of all the cells in an organism is one person; so each soul is like one cell and the sum of them is God, and beyond that is the Absolute. The sea calm is the Absolute; the same sea in waves is Divine Mother. She is time, space, and causation. God is Mother and has two natures, the conditioned and the unconditioned. As the former, She is God, nature, and soul (man). As the latter, She is unknown and unknowable. Out of the Unconditioned came the trinity — God, nature, and soul, the triangle of existence. This is the Vishishtâdvaitist idea.
A bit of Mother, a drop, was Krishna, another was Buddha, another was Christ. The worship of even one spark of Mother in our earthly mother leads to greatness. Worship Her if you want love and wisdom.
