The Secret Doctrine of Goddess Lalita
(Sri LalitaAṣṭottara Rahasyārthamu)
2. dēvakāryasamudyatā
She who is intent on fulfilling the wishes of the gods.
This nāma describes the nature of those who are favored by Devī. The word deva in this nāma does not refer to celestial gods (devatā-s) residing in heaven. It refers to seekers who are endowed with divine qualities. Even if they reside in heaven, if the deva-s do not have the necessary divine qualities, they do not qualify for Her grace.
Those who have the essential qualities like śraddhā, utmost faith and perseverance, are the real devatā-s. The actions of such divine beings are divine actions. Since their only desire is for truth and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Devī frees such them from the ocean of saṃsāra. She never ignores them. The harder they strive for truth, the more benevolent She is towards them. Since they seek Her to realize the Truth, She reveals Her true nature to them.
