‘Ya Devi Sarva Bhuteshu’, represents that Devi is present everywhere and at all times.
Key words used to describe Devi.
Omnipresent: Devi is present as consciousness in everyone. There is no place where Devi is not present.
In all forms: nature and its distortions are all forms of the Devi. Beauty, peace are all forms of Devi. If one gets angry, that is also a form of Devi.
Ancient and new: Every moment is alive with consciousness. Our consciousness is Nith Nutan, ancient and new at the same time. Objects are either old or new, but in nature one will find the old and new existing together. The sun is old and new too. The river has fresh water flowing in it, every moment but yet is very old. In the same way human life is very ancient and new also. One’s mind is also the same.
