“Kali, she who is at once dark and powerful. She is the first one, dark within her own reality. The supreme primordial feminine, who cuts through illusion to the unabridged truth of existence. My Mother is the principle of consciousness. She is indivisible reality, awareness, and bliss. The night sky between the stars is perfectly black. The waters of the ocean depths are the same; The infinite is always mysteriously dark. This inebriating darkness is my beloved Kali.”
-Sri Ramakrishna
