The spiritual guide to all devi bhakthas is devi bhagavatham. The divine mother talks to us through the texts.An insight into the text will give us a better understanding of her and her divine actions will open up our eyes and help us to be a better human being.The divine mother is talking to us in various ways but our senses are closed so we are not able to understand her ways and get her blessings to lead a proper life and in the process we have led ourselves to believe that the divine mother is out there to punish us for all the wrong doings.
The insight into the text will remove the ignorance sheet covering us and help us to see her and drench ourselves in the shower of her divinity. May She guides us through the path and give all you the peace of mind to understand ,accumulate and assimilate the things which she wants us to know to lead a divine life.It is attempt which I have made with her blessings.
Devî said:--"Hear, ye Immortals! listen to My words with attention, that I am now going to speak to you, hearing which will enable the Jivas to realise My Essence. Before the creation, I, only I, existed; nothing else was existent then. My Real Self is known by the names Chit, Sambit (Intelligence), Para Brahma and others. My Atman is beyond mind, beyond thought, beyond any name or mark, without any parallel, and beyond birth, death or any other change or transformation. My Self has one inherent power called Maya. This Maya is not existent, nor non-existent, nor can it be called both. This unspeakable substance Maya always exists (till the final emancipation or Moksa).
She is the embodiment of all devas. the knowledge ,power and above all she is the atman,which constitutes the energy and she also says she is the light and the energy of all energies,from her did the whole athabrahamandam arise and she has taken the different forms of life to enable the atma to understand and evolve into an atman.
Maya can be destroyed by Brahmna Jñâna; so it can not be called existent, again if Maya does not exist, the practical world cannot exist. So it cannot be called non-existent. Of course it cannot be called both, for it would involve contradictions. This Maya (without beginning but with end at the time of Moksa) naturally arises as heat comes out of fire, as the rays come out of the Sun and as the cooling rays come out of the Moon. Just as all the Karmas of the Jivas dissolve in deep sleep (S'usupti), so at the time of Pralaya or the General Dissolution, the Karmas of the Jivas, the Jivas and Time all become merged, in one uniform mass in this great Maya. United with My S'akti, I am the Cause of this world; this S'akti has this defect that it has the power of hiding Me, its Originator.

I am Nirguna. And when I am united with my S'akti, Maya, 1 become Saguns, the Great Cause of this world. This Maya is divided into two, Vidya and Avidya. Avidya Maya hides Me; whereas Vidya Maya does not. Avidya creates whereas Vidya Maya liberates.
Mayaa united with Chaitanya (Intelligence), i. e., Chidabhasa is the efficient cause of this Universe; whereas Maya reduced to and united with five original elements is the material Cause of the Universe. Some call this Maya tapas; some call Her inert, material; some call Her knowledge; some call Her Maya, Pradhana, Prakriti, Aja (unborn) and sonic others call Her S'akta. The S'aiva authors call Her Vimars'a and the other Vedantists call Her Avidya; in short, this Maya is in the heads of all the Pundits. This Maya is called various in the Nigamas.

Here she admits she is the maya she is sakthi it is she who determines everything ,but she hasa also pronounced indirectly that maya has merged with sakthi to bring out the causes and the effects in this world which explains the actions of people the motives and when does one get moksha when he/she realizes that it is from her that intelligence and knowledge arises and it is from her that ignorance and maaya arises and it is from her bhakthi begins its journey........
