Kishori Ji is the personified form of grace. She is made of grace from the inside as well as the outside. She has no other work to perform except showering grace. She has no other desire.
A Deity or statue is made of a single element. It could be wood, iron, stone, terracotta, clay, gold or silver, and so on. The material used to make it is consistent throughout, on the inside as well as the outside. Only one material permeates every part of the Deity, be it the nose, ears, face, limbs, or any other part. If the Deity is carved from stone, for example, then it will be stone all over both inside and outside.
However, this is not the case with the human body which consists of a number of different elements, such as fire, air, water; a divine soul, and so on. Just as a Deity is made entirely of a single element, similarly, there is no difference between Kishori Ji's external form and Her inner soul; all is Kishori Ji Herself and nothing else. Her divine body as well as Her soul is the embodiment of existence (sat), knowledge (chit), and bliss (anand) or sachchidananda.
In contrast, our physical body is made up of the five basic elements earth, water, fire, air, and ether (panchmahabhut), but the soul within this body is divine and a part of God. When the soul leaves the body at the time of death, that body begins to decompose and is immediately burnt or buried, regardless of who that person may have been-your son, father, spouse, etc.
Therefore, just as we consist of two things-the material body and the divine soul- Kishori Ji consists of one. Her body is sat, chit, anand Brahm and Her soul is also the same sat-chit-anand Brahm. In other words, She is the personified form of sat-chit-anand Brahm and nothing else.
The scriptures state that there is no distinction between Her body and Her soul, and therefore, She has been compared to a Deity that is made of a single element from inside as well as outside. Thus, Kishori Ji is like a Deity made up of infinite graciousness, compassion, kindness, and causeless mercy. She can only give grace and nothing else. We have the liberty to choose, we may love or hate or even kill someone.. However, Kishori Ji has no other choice but to bestow grace. God and the Saints (mahapurusha) have no other work except to bestow grace.
Conclusion:
Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj's profound teachings offer a remarkable viewpoint on the divine nature of RADHA RANI, personifying grace in its purest form. According to Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, Kishori Ji is a manifestation of grace that transcends the boundaries of physical life on the inside as well as the outside. Kishori Ji's divine form and soul are indivisible, embodying the essence of existence, knowledge, and bliss, in contrast to the human body, which is made up of many elements.
Parallel to this, the analogy to a Deity composed of a single constant element functions as a potent metaphor to highlight the coherence of Kishori Ji's outward form and inner divinity. She represents unending mercy, generosity, and compassion and, forever radiates blessings without alternative. The profound understanding that Kishori Ji's primary aim in life is to bestow grace is in harmony with the teachings that God and Saints are essentially beings who wish to share their altruism with others.
With the insights of Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, we understand the intrinsic nature of grace by Kishori Ji, which also helps us to recognise the unwavering devotion and limitless compassion that permeate her being. We are urged to seek the embrace of grace in the light of these teachings, realising its transformational ability to enrich and illuminate our lives and eventually guide us towards spiritual fulfilment and union with the divine.
