(Guruji's Kālī talk at Devipuram (02-04-2013))
Kāla means many things. One meaning of Kāla is time. Kālī is a property of time. What is the property of time? To dance, to move. When it moves, the present goes into the past and the future comes into the present. The present going into the past is called samhara, death. The future coming into the present is called birth. So from one side Kālī is a destructive Mother and on the other side, Kālī is the creative Mother. The Creatrix as well as Destructive.
Now both are happening in the present moment — the midpoint between creation and destruction. That is called sthiti, when it stands here and now. Where are you? You say Los Angeles… I’m here. What is the time now? 12 o'clock or 1 o'clock, or 2 o'clock or whatever it is. So here and now — because here and now always is there wherever you are. Whatever place, whatever time you have you are always in the here and now. You cannot be out of that.
It means you are at the junction between the past and the future, it's the aspect of time. The junction between the front and back or left and right or up and down. You are always here at this place and at this time now. So the combination of here and now — now is Kālī and here [is] the space. A combination of space and time is where you are, you are located here and now.
