Before the creation, I, only I, existed; nothing else was existent then. My Real Self is known by the names Chit (consciousness), Sambit (Intelligence), Para Brahman, and others. My Âtman (Soul) is beyond mind, beyond thought, beyond any name or mark, without any parallel, and beyond birth, death, or any other change or transformation. 

My Self has one inherent power called Mâyâ. This Mâyâ is not existent, nor non-existent, nor can it be called both. This unspeakable substance Mâyâ always exists till the final emancipation or Moksa. 

Mâyâ can be destroyed by Brahma Jñâna (Knowledge of Brahman); so it can not be called existent, again if Mâyâ does not exist, the practical world cannot exist. So it cannot be called non-existent. Of course, it cannot be called both, for it would involve contradictions. 

"Nava-ratri" literally means "nine nights."

In creation, Devi abides in all beings in the form of Cosmic Consciousness. She pervades in all beings as Intelligence, as Kindness and Contentment. Devi also abides in all beings in form of Mother and as our Higher Self. She is the most difficult to know.  The Goddess is hard to know because she also abides in all beings as Delusion. During Navaratri, we invoke the energy aspect of God in the form of the universal mother, commonly referred to as "Durga," which literally means the remover of miseries of life. She is also referred to as "Devi" (goddess) or "Shakti" (energy or power). It is this energy, which helps God to proceed with the work of creation, preservation, and destruction. In other words, you can say that God is motionless, absolutely changeless, and the Divine Mother Durga does everything. Truly speaking, our worship of Shakti re-confirms the scientific theory that energy is imperishable. It cannot be created or destroyed. It is always there.

Our worship of the Divine Mother underlines our need to know the true nature of Devi, who is present within all of us, but lies dormant. Navratri is the time to awaken this dormant Shakti or cosmic feminine energy within ourselves. It is only through redirecting our thoughts towards the Divine that we can be fully awakened to the discretion of right and wrong, good and the evil.
