In the Chandi recitation, which is a recitation of 700 Sanskrit verses on Devi, the female Energy, it talks about how Chandi Devi kills the various evil demons. It is not that she killed real humans. If she had killed real humans, she would have been behind bars and we would not be worshipping her through the recital! She would have come under criminal offence!
The demons symbolically represent the various kinds of evils or ego inside man and it is this ego that is slain by Devi to liberate man from them. We have to understand that. One of the demons is a buffalo-headed demon! This is to make us understand that some of us are so thick skinned that how many ever times the Master awakens us to his path, we firmly stick to our path! We are not porous and sensitive to the Master’s call.
You see, arguing with the Master is the greatest punishment that you give to yourself. I tell you honestly, when you are caught in arguing with the Master, no one can do anything more to harm you. You harm yourself enough when you argue with the Master. The Master knows how to make each one flower in his or her own way and the least that one can do is open out to him with faith and courage.
