Mahakali embodies force and will. She is the divine warrior that smashes all obstructions and speeds our human aspiration and effort upward into the divine majesty. There is in her an overwhelming intensity, a mighty passion of force to achieve, a divine violence rushing to shatter every limit and obstacle. All her divinity leaps out in a splendour of tempestuous action; she is there for swiftness for the immediately effective process . . . "Dangerous and ruthless is her mood against the haters of the Divine; for she is the Warrior of the Worlds who never shrinks from the battle. Intolerant of imperfection, she deals roughly with all in man that is unwilling and she is severe to all that is obstinately ignorant and obscure; her wrath is immediate and dire against treachery and falsehood and malignity, ill-will is smitten at once by her scourge . . ." Aurobindo (40-1) Like the eagle, Mahakali can take us to the highest reaches of truth or strike us down in anger. The timid fear her and the brave adore her strength. If we have the courage to follow her flame, we can achieve in a day what would normally take us years—even lifetimes. Our indifference to the divine work infuriates her and, if necessary, she will strike us awake with sharp and swift pain. Her divine violence rushes to shatter every limitation and obstacle we construct against living the divine life. Yet, as forceful as she can be, this aspect of the Divine Mother has a deep love and kindness as intense as her wrath. By the grace of her fire and passion and speed, we can achieve the goal now rather than later, for her goal is nothing less than having us experience the flame of divine ecstasy.- Joan Price
