The One who drinks the Rakta of the entire creation
The One who consumes passion, by indulging herself in the deepest core of a being ie. The Rakta.
To truly understand this name of maa Adya MahaKali.
One must realise that she who has created the entire cosmos, when is invoked by a Bhakta, to her the most important and live offering is the Blood and Bloodline of the Sadhaka.
That is why Maa’s tongue drips with blood and the invocation of Maa means surrendering your entire blood and the bloodline to her.
Half hearted attempts to walk towards Devi will always lead to unfulfilled Sadhana.
It is path that expects the very crux of ones being, that is the very blood that keeps one alive is to be surrendered to her or it is completely out.
There is no middle path for Kali.
