The Mother's Diamond Light
(a) It [the diamond light] means the essential Force of the Mother.

(b) The diamond light proceeds from the heart of the Divine Consciousness and it brings the opening of the Divine Consciousness wherever it goes.
(c) The Mother's descent with the diamond light is the sanction of the Supreme Power to the movement in you.
(d) The Mother's diamond light is a light of absolute purity and power.
(e) The diamond light is the central consciousness and force of the Divine.
The Mother's light is white—especially diamond white. The Mahakali form is usually golden, of a very bright and strong golden hue.
The diamond is the symbol of the intensest light of the Mother's consciousness, so your visions indicate that you saw her full of that light and radiating it. Other jewels must be symbols of other forces, the ruby indicating power in the physical.
The diamond is the symbol of the Mother's consciousness; the colour depends on the particular force which her consciousness puts forth upon you at the moment.
The diamond is the symbol of the Mother's light and energy—the diamond light is that of her consciousness at its most intense.
