Hence, seeing that the son has gone away to the distant lands, the Mother sends him a message in the Sacred Pages, thus:-
"My Child! Worship me if you will, give me presents if you will, and I shall be present with joy to receive the gifts of My Son. But , My Child, see that you are not yourself absent, and do not make your gifts to Me through another. Otherwise, your neglect and absence and the sorrow they cause will keenly grieve My heart, and tears of sorrow will bedew My face, chasing away all smiles of joy. My Child, am I nobody to you? Ah, silly Child! I am the Mother,the Mother of all the millions of Universes.What secret can you have from Me who dwell in all things? And why be secret with your Mother, My Child?
You may desire to keep a thing secret from Me,But I come to know of it before it even passes through your mind. Such as I am, how can you keep anything secret from Me? Moreover,the relation between Mother and son is such that there can be no secrets between them. But perhaps you keep away from Me because of your lack of power, unworthiness, and impurity. But, My Child, have you not heard that I am all Powers, and am the saviour of the fallen, and The Deliverer of the Three worlds? You may be lacking in power, but I have all powers in Me.
By My own Shakthi, I create Universes from particles of dust and turn them again to dust. Being as I am the sole mistress of the store of Sakthis, am I not able to make you powerful by My Sakthi? You may be impure, but I raise the fallen. By taking My name, Jivas become pure themselves and purify the world. Being what I am can I not Myself make you pure? How impure can you become that I cannot make you pure?
Ah, My Child! How long does impurity last? Only so long as My name does not enter your ears. It is true that Jivas fall, but that is only so long as I, who purify the fallen, do not take them up into My arms. You shirk My presence on account of your impurity, but no one remains impure after he has come to Me! I am a Dweller in cremation gounds, because I do not wish that there should be anything impure in the world. Even My dead Child is not impure to Me. As for you, you are a Child vitalised by a great Mantra. What should you fear? Hence, I say, My Child, why have any hesitation before your Mother? Whatever you wish to give Me, bring it to Me yourself, saying " I am poor and impure", and I shall not only take your gift, but purify you at the same time. If only I get you to come before Me, I shall give you , what I have to give you. That is why I say, Dear Child, do not wound your Mother's feelings by charging another person with the care of the Mother.
It does not matter to Me, whether My worship is not done. But it is a sorrow which I cannot bear that I am unable to give you that which I brought for you."
