The Mother with Her four Aspects

The Aspects:
   Mother, we pray, we too may go with Thee.
   For by Thy service we last through Eternity.

Maheshwari:
   Mother, make me Thy highest Height.
   Give me Thy Knowledge to end the Night.
   In Thy gold Fount of tranquillity
   I shall wash the mortal's misery.

Mahakali:
   I call to Thy quick Power supreme!
   O crush the pride of ignorance-dream.
   My thunder feet shall break the head
   Of the Asura, by me shall be led
   The warrior-children of the truth.
   Mother, for them my boundless ruth.

Mahalakshmi:
   Mother, Thy Rapture-Fire I crave.
   I shall throw all filth to a bottomless grave.
   Thy Harmony shall be my gift
   To earth; and I her form shall lift
   To Thy all-embracing Joy and Love
   And all shall breathe Thy Spirit above.

Mahasaraswati:
   Perfect perfection on me bestow.
   Thy patience-seed.
Mother, I shall sow
   Within the heart of aspiring earth.
   In me Thy Work's undying birth.
