whenever there has been a new creation on earth, or manifestation of a new
consciousness in earthly atmosphere, it was always preceded by a stage of
destruction and dissolution of the old. The dance of Shiva has its two aspects
- the bliss of creation and also the joy of destruction –

lasya and
tandava – both have been equally necessary up till now –
complementary to each other.</p>

150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Destruction
means destruction of the unnecessary, unfit, all that refuses to accept the new
advent, obstructs it, tries to deny it, – all that is out of harmony with the
inevitable new future. Earthly evolution is a march of progression if you fail
to keep up with that speed you have to move out of the way, rather you are
removed to make room for the next coming stage.</p>

you are in the older creation or at least are in love with it, attached to it,
the destruction becomes painful even fearful and repulsive to you. But if you
aspire for the new, are willing to participate in the dawning future, already
belong to it, you feel the necessity of this destruction and welcome it to
hasten the work and even rejoice in it. You enjoy the joy of destruction – at
least Shiva does, the Divine Force does, it seems.</p>

and dissolution – to clear the path of Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati, – the
infinite, love and compassion of Maheshwari sanctions and supports it. The new
creation, the new world that Mother built and is still building with so much
love and care is ready – ready to manifest, to reveal itself in the material
field, waiting for materialising on earth, but earth is not yet ready, rather
man is not yet ready, he still refuses it, clings to its old dead world – and
clings fast to it – he loves this game of falsehood and croockedness. Perhaps
truth is too bright too compelling for his egoistic nature and obscure make-up –
so he denies, obstructs as much as he can the new consciousness, the new
reality. Mother out of her infinite love tried to take this denial on her own
self, tried to convince and change as many elements as was possible – then,
when nothing more could be done She withdrew leaving the field to her other
aspect to do what was unavoidable – the breaking up of the old rigid world. It
is a necessity for the ultimate good of earth and even man.</p>

work has started – call it the dance of Shiva, the tandava or the dance of Kali
the fierce Mother – it has started and is proceeding faster and faster on its
way. Destruction, dissolution, decomposition – yes that is the first result
and we are already witnessing and participating in it, whether we like it or
not. It is the Supreme Lord's decree – it is bound to happen. Those who cling
to Truth survive, those who make alliance with Falsehood perish – man has no
other way than to make a choice, consciously or unconsciously.</p>

is an inevitable stage, there is nothing to lament or grieve if you are an
aspirant of Truth.</p>

next stage naturally will be the clearance of the debris – a thorough cleaning –
elimination of all that was against the truth, the ruin of the dead world, the
field will be cleared of all that is filthy and obscure. For then only the new
reality

the new Reality may come out. It is Mother's action with her own Self. She has
