The excerpt from V.V. Kaskhedikar article, very inspiring for Shakti-Sadhana. By the way, the same idea is in Shaiva-Siddhanta - only constant Shiva-Bhakti-Sadhana can destroy 3 malas (anava, karma, mala).
"The Divine Mother is The Absolute Reality Who appears as all.
She has deluded the world.
But when propitiated SHE Herself removes the veil. Hence says Rishi, surrender to Her for She is your real nature.
By ignorance you are attached to your kith and kin.
Divine Mother is your own Real nature. She is all pervading Reality.
Your ignorance is also Her Divine play. She is the cause of bondage and also of liberation.
In other words, She Herself is manifesting as the contradictions of life.
Hence Realise Her".
