The Secret Doctrine of Goddess Lalita
(Sri LalitaAṣṭottara Rahasyārthamu)
54. sarvamōhinī
She who deludes all.
Those who do not realize the truth and fail to grasp Devī as their own Self will continue to remain in deep slumber, steeped in ignorance. In spite of attaining a human birth, they will live meaningless lives like animals. They will make no effort whatsoever to understand the nature of the world and transcend it. The great enchantress, mahāmāyā, will continue to tempt and drown such people in the ocean of desires. She is after all sarvamōhinī, the one who deludes all. Her very nature is to enchant and delude the ignorant. Since almost every human being on earth is deluded by the world and lives in ignorance, Devī is verily called sarvamōhinī.
