(RV 5.69.3)
prātar- devīm-aditim johavīmi madhyandina
uditā sūryasya,
In the dawn I call to the divine Mother Infinite,
in the mid-day when the sun is risen high.
Aditi is the Mother of All, the Mother of the Gods, the Mother of
all Creation. She is the Infinite Consciousness taking form for
the manifestation of the Divine. Lost in the separative divisions
of this world in Ignorance based upon Inconscience, man seeks
liberation into higher states leading to Oneness, Infinitude and
unimpaired Consciousness. For this purpose he invokes the very
embodiment of the Infinite Consciousness at the source of all
creation. But this call is to be incessant, active all the time:
the voice of aspiration must be affirmed again and again, at dawn,
in the morning, at noon–at all the significant junctures in the
diurnal revolutions of Time.
(RV 1.24.15)
athā vayam-āditya vrate tava-anāgaso aditaye syāma,
May we abide in the law of thy workings, O Son of Aditi,
and be blameless before the Mother infinite.
It is not enough to call the Divine Mother of All for deliverance
from Ignorance and the Falsehood of division. One must also work
one’s way out from the inferior state in which one is imprisoned.
And that can only be done by conforming in one’s
movements—thought, speech and action—to the Law of Truth, the Law
that is set at work in this universe by the Divine Ruler. To
persistently reject all that is contrary to this Law and affirm
its workings in one’s daily life is the rule for the seeker. Only
by following this injunction can he stand guiltless and pure
before the Mother Divine when she reveals herself in her might and
glory.
