Maternal love is akin to that of the Creator who projects and protects this infinite cosmos in countless ways. There are several notable examples in daily life of the divine quality which motherhood represents. The cow converts its own blood into nourishing milk for man to sustain his body. The cow is the first example of the Divine as Mother. Like the Divine, the Earth bears man in her bosom and takes care of him in many ways. Hence the Earth also is the embodiment of the Mother. In the human body, the Divine flows through all the limbs as rasa (essence) and sustains them. This Divine principle is called Rasaswaroopini (Embodiment of Divine Essence). These Divine principles that permeate and sustain the physical body should also be worshipped as mother goddesses. Then there are the great sages who investigated matters relating to good and evil, right and wrong, what elevates man or degrades him, and as a result of their labours and penances, gave kind the great scriptures, indicating the spiritual and mundane paths and how humanity can redeem its existence. These sages have also to be revered as Divine Mothers.
