Maa Durga (Shakti)
Dadashri : ...When you worship mataji in the form of energy, in the form of Devi, or Ambika mataji, Kalika mataji, Durga matagi , this prakruti will remain good. This is all to purify the prakruti . Should you not keep prakruti good even if you have realized the Self? Therefore, you have to worship mataji .
Questioner : So the prakruti does work like the ‘mother' would, does it not?
Dadashri : Yes. That is why when one worships the ‘mother', as ‘mataji' , the prakruti becomes pure and gives the poor man happiness and stops all the misery. That is why I tell everyone to domataji's darshan . You may not have acquired the Self but your prakruti's suffering will at least go away.
Questioner : But the goddess mother is removing one's miseries anyway. Even if one does not have extra special bhaav , is the goddess mother not removing his miseries? According to our science, prakruti is helping him anyway; it is removing…
Dadashri : But that is a nimit , is it not? Worship of the Prakruti occurs when there is nimit . It helps him. We know that it is mataji who is helping him but that is if he worships her. What do people say about Sarasvati ? Do you know who her devotees and worshipper are? They are all the poets and the bards. They worship Sarasvati . What happens by worshipping Sarasvati ? When these poets speak, they speak in a very profound manner. That is worshipping the prakruti . It is worshipping the Sarasvati of the poets. That Saraswati is the same as the Sarasvati here. If the same Devi is placed on the outside, then your worship of her is indirect but it will give fruits to the one within; it will reach there and give rewards.
Questioner ; Now, you are putting that in a simple language of, one will receive whatever he asks for. One has to have faith.
Dadashri : That is why even I worship. I worship Ambamata, Sarasvati, and others, and matajihas accepted it.Prakruti can never be fruitful. And you will have to become vitraag everywhere. Do you know whether this belief of Mataji is true or not? Now, that is people's belief and they areatma just like us, are they not? You cannot go to moksha by violating anyone's beliefs.
