Take Devotees Like Hanuman and Gopikas Only As The Authority

Shri Balaji asked:- A devotee worshipping the divine mother is feeling disturbed that divine mother will become furious if some mistake happens as told by a highly devoted preacher.

Swami replied:- God is worshipped in different forms like parents, brother, issues, husband, darling etc., as per the personal taste of the devotee. There is no speciality of any bond and the speciality lies only in the weight of selfless love existing in that bond. Sweets are prepared with pure sugar in the form of swans, parrots, asses etc. The rate to be given depends on the quantity of sweets and not on the form of sweet! Similarly, the mode of worship is also immaterial.

The form of God is only a quality of God because the form is a part of this materialised world only. This world is just a group of thoughts of God and quality is also a thought. The form of mother is especially predominant in the sense that mother never becomes furious with her issues. Devotees worshipping God as divine mother propagate their line (Shaakteya Matam) based on this special quality (that Mother never becomes angry with her issues) of mother. Hence, the divine mother becoming angry finding fault in the worship of a devotee is impossible unless the devoted demon tries to destroy the society with sinful behaviour.

You shall not take a devotee (both theoretical and practical) as an authority assuming the existence of previous knowledge (since knowledge generates devotion) because devotion is not only developed by true spiritual knowledge (no aspiration of fruit), but also is developed by false knowledge (aspiration of fruit). You must take devotees like Hanuman and Gopikas only as the authority since their devotion is without aspiration for any fruit in return from God and hence, their devotion was generated from true spiritual knowledge.
