Seigneur, deviens le Maître souverain de nos vies et dissipe toutes les obscurités qui peuvent encore nous empêcher de Te voir et de communier constamment avec Toi.

Libère-nous de toute ignorance, libère-nous de nous-mêmes afin que nous ouvrions toutes grandes les portes de Ta glorieuse manifestation.

O Lord, become the sovereign Master of our lives and dispel all the obscurities which can still prevent us from seeing Thee and constantly communing with Thee.

Liberate us from all ignorance, liberate us from ourselves that we may open wide the doors of Thy glorious manifestation.

Katha Upanishad
Chapter 2 - Section 2 - Verse 9,10,8

अग्निर्यथैको भुवनं प्रविष्टो रुपं रुपं प्रतिरुपो बभूव ।
एकस्तथा सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा रुपं रुपं प्रतिरुपो बहिश्च ॥९॥

9) "Even as one Fire has entered into the world, but it shapes itself to the forms it meets, so there is one Spirit within all creatures, but it shapes itself to form and form: it is likewise outside these.

वायुर्यथैको भुवनं प्रविष्टो रुपं रुपं प्रतिरुपो बभूव ।
एकस्तथा सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा रुपं रुपं प्रतिरुपो बहिश्च ॥१०॥

10) "Even as one Air has entered into the world, but it shapes itself to the forms it meets, so there is one Spirit within all creatures, but it shapes itself to form and form: it is likewise outside these.

य एष सुप्तेषु जागति कामं कामं पुरुषो निर्मिमाणः ।
तदेव शुकं तद् ब्रह्म तदेवामृतमुच्यते ।
तस्मिँल्लोकाः श्रिताः सर्वे तदु नात्येति कश्चन । एतद्वै तत् ॥८॥

8) "This that wakes in the sleepers creating desire upon desire, this Purusha, Him they call the Bright One, Him Brahman, Him Immortality, and in Him are all the worlds established: none goes beyond Him.
This is That thou seekest.

Translation by Sri Aurobindo
SABCL > The Upanishads

दशवक्रा दशभुजा दशपादाञ्जनप्रभा।
विशालया राजमाना त्रिंशल्लोचनमालया ॥३॥
स्फुरद्दशनदंष्ट्रा सा भीमरूपाऽपि भूमिप।
रूपसौभाग्यकान्तीनां सा प्रतिष्ठा महाश्रियाम्॥४॥
एषा सा वैष्णवी माया महाकाली दुरत्यया।
आराधिता वशीकुर्यात् पूजाकर्तुश्चराचरम् ॥६॥
सर्वदेवशरीरेभ्यो याऽविर्भूताऽमितप्रभा।
त्रिगुणा सा महालक्ष्मीः साक्षान्महिषमर्दिनी ॥७॥

She has ten faces, ten arms, ten feet and has the lustre of collyrium. She shines with her thirty large eyes knit like a garland.3

Protector of the world, though she is terrible in appearance with her glittering teeth and fangs, she is the mainstay of the great opulence of beauty, auspiciousness and lustre.4

She is the delusion of Vishnu, the impassable Mahakali. If worshipped she will bring under the control of the worshipper all the mobile and the immobile in the universe.6

The one who manifested out of the bodies of all the gods with immeasurable light, she is Mahalakshmi containing the three gunas, verily the destroyer of Mahisa.7
