Aditi - the Mother. Aditi is the indivisible consciousness force and Ananda of the Supreme; The Mother, its living dynamis, the supreme Love, Wisdom, Power.Sri Aurobindo, Record of Yoga - II: Diagrams, c. January 1927According to the Truth of things,… the worlds are brought forth from the divine consciousness, from Aditi, goddess of infinite being, mother of the gods, the indivisible consciousness, the Light that cannot be impaired…Sri Aurobindo, The Secret of the Veda: To Bhaga Savitri, the EnjoyerThe Divine Mother is the Consciousness and Force of the Divine—which is the Mother of all things.Sri Aurobindo, The Mother with Letters on The Mother: The Consciousness and Force of the DivineThe One whom we adore as the Mother is the divine Conscious Force that dominates all existence…Sri Aurobindo, The Mother with Letters on The Mother: The Mother - VIAll is created by the Supreme Goddess, the Supreme and Original Mahashakti, all proceeds from her, all lives by her, all lives in her, even as she lives in all. All wisdom and knowledge are her wisdom and knowledge; all power is her power, all will and force her will and force, all action is her action, all movement her movement. All beings are portions of her power of existence.Sri Aurobindo, Record of Yoga - II: Undated Notes, c. December 1926At the head she stands of birth and toil and fate,In their slow round the cycles turn to her call;Alone her hands can change Time's dragon base.Hers is the mystery the Night conceals;The spirit's alchemist energy is hers;She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire.The luminous heart of the Unknown is she,A power of silence in the depths of God;She is the Force, the inevitable Word,The magnet of our difficult ascent,The Sun from which we kindle all our suns,The Light that leans from the unrealised Vasts,The joy that beckons from the impossible,The Might of all that never yet came down.Sri Aurobindo, Savitri - I: The Adoration of the Divine Mother
