Page 19 - Sincerity and Religion

You know the story of Durga, don’t

you? Durga who every year has to

destroy her asura; and always she is

compelled to begin again. It goes on

in this way till the end of the reign

allotted to the titans. When they will

be banished from this world, it will

not be thus any longer. But till then,

that is as long as they are useful...for

intensifying the aspiration, clarifying

the consciousness, for putting to the

test the sincerity of people, they will

be there. The day the test will not be

needed, the day the sincerity will be

pure and self-existent they will

disappear. Then that day, Durga will

no longer need to begin her battle

over again every year.

The Mother, CWM, 5: 96-97
