The Secret Doctrine of Goddess Lalita
(Sri LalitaAṣṭottara Rahasyārthamu)
28. nirbhēdā 29. bhēdanāśinī
She who is beyond all sense of differences.
She who removes from her devotees all sense of differences born out of vāsanā-s.
In reality, these are no differences in Devī. She is pure, undifferentiated Consciousness. The differences are imagined by us due to avidyā (ignorance). Since the differences are only imagined, the moment we stop imagining them, the Goddess will reveal Herself. In reality, neither does She conceal or reveal Herself since She is ever present as pure Consciousness. Concealment and revelation are attributes of the mind. Even if the mind fluctuates between them, Devī remains immutable. The rope is a rope even if it appears as a snake, stream of water, or a stick. Similarly, even though we see names and forms instead of Devī, Devī Herself remains undifferentiated.
The moment we understand Her true nature, we will realize She is Pure Undifferentiated Consciousness. Without such understanding, we will not be able to transcend names and forms. Since She is undifferentiated, She is capable of blessing us with an undifferentiated vision. This is the significance of the mantra bhēdanāśinī. Differences are imagined by us, but She is un-differentiated. Only what is real can remove the unreal. We must cultivate a homogenous vision that can cognize the unchanging reality which is the substratum of the changing universe. Like the disappearance of the illusory snake when the knowledge of the rope arises, the heterogenous world disappears in a homogenous vision.
