My blissful Mother exists fully through every creature!

Meditate, O mind, on the mystery of Kali.

Use any method of worship you please,

or be free from methods,

breathing day and night her living name

as the seed of power

planted by the teacher in your heart

Consider the simple act of lying down to sleep

as devoted offering of body and mind to her.

Allow your dreams to become

radiant meditations on the Cosmic Mother.

As you wander through countryside or city,

feel that you are moving through Kali, Kali, Kali.

All sounds you hear are her natural mantras

arising spontaneously

as the whole universe worships her,

prostrates to her, awakens to her.

The Goddess, who is unitive wisdom,

constitutes the letters of every alphabet.

Every word secretly bears the power of her name.

The singer of this mystic hymn is overwhelmed:

“Wonderful! Wonderful! My blissful Mother

exists fully through every creature!

O wandering poet,

whatever food or drink you receive,

offer as oblation in the sacrificial fire of your body

and dissolve your mind

into her all-encompassing reality.
