Nature of the Absolute (cont.)

God-dess, the high­est being, per­fectly man­i­fests all aus­pi­cious qual­i­ties. Undif­fer­en­ti­ated One­ness exists as the incom­plete man­i­fes­ta­tion of God-dess, in which the divine attrib­utes and poten­cies lie dor­mant. Dr. Kapoor explains:

It is pri­mor­dial same­ness, but not a bar­ren still­ness; it is inde­ter­mi­nate­ness, but not an inde­ter­mi­nate­ness that totally denies dis­tinc­tions and def­i­nite­ness; it has dis­tinc­tions, but the dis­tinc­tions are not clearly brought out; it is a cre­ative poten­tial­ity, but a poten­tial­ity that is eter­nally actu­al­ized in its most per­fect state as [God-dess]. (92)

God-dess’ attrib­utes and poten­cies exist in him-her essen­tially and eter­nally and are not unreal or super­im­posed. God-dess and her-his attrib­utes and ener­gies remain inseparable.

God-dess indulges in spir­i­tual pas­times eter­nally. God-dess man­i­fests a spir­i­tual body, an eter­nal abode, and eter­nal com­pan­ions. Fol­low­ers of the path of devo­tion real­ize God-dess’ high­est, most per­fect form. From our per­spec­tive, fol­low­ers of the path of knowl­edge real­ize Undif­fer­en­ti­ated One­ness, which sym­bol­izes the out­ward glow or divine lus­ter of God-dess’ spir­i­tual body. Sim­i­larly, fol­low­ers of the path of med­i­ta­tion real­ize Cos­mic Con­scious­ness per­vad­ing all.

God-dess’ majes­tic qual­i­ties include:
*sup­port­ing and pro­tect­ing the uni­verse
*unfold­ing and sus­tain­ing the nat­ural func­tion of devo­tion
*lead­ing devo­tees to attain­ment of the tran­scen­den­tal realm
*con­tain­ing all beings
*exist­ing within all.
