Pride—Impurity—Grief—Despair
When the consciousness becomes wide and universal and sees the Mother in the whole universe, then the ego does not stick. Only your true being, which is the Mother’s child and her portion, rests on the Mother’s lap.

And simply because of that it is not proper to think that the Mother has forsaken you. Once more go deep within, you will feel Her there. It means that the stamp of pride, ignorance and desire remains for a long time even in the good periods of good sadhaks.
