T A R A 
This purely spiritual action of the goddess is easy to understand if we note the fact that the mind, together with all its functions and with the subtle energies it involves, represents only a part, or a fragment. Indeed, Tara is the gigantic, extremely subtle energy of the unmanifesred sound, which transcends the manifestation. She grants efficiency in the tapas involving mantra-s. On the other hand, the creation represents a modulation of God's Primordial Logos on infinite frequencies of vibration. From this perspective, Tara may be regarded as a creator and in the same time destroyer of the whole creation, when these actions (of creation and respectively destruction, or resorbtion) are considered from the perspective of the phonemic energies of the Divine Logos. In this hypostasis, Tara contains within herself all existing mantra-s. For instance, in order to be able to use and assimilate correctly the spiritual meaning of a mantra that synthesizes an very elevated macrocosmic aspect and in order to be able to identify ourselves with the subtle energy of a mantra, the grace of The Great Cosmic Force Tara is indispensable. 
Tara's help should be invoked with intense fervor and great aspiration. Sublime poetical inspiration and oratorical talent are the sign of the grace of this Great Cosmic Force.The tantric tradition asserts that Tara's devotee will have extraordinary literary talents, being able to express ideas beyond the capacities of any other man. Another important aspect to what regards Tara's action in our human microcosm is the fact that the goddess represents the purifying force of the subtle breath that animates any living being. THE BREATH IS THE PRIMORDIAL SOUND OF LIFE Of course that in this hypostasis the ether does not represent the scientific term from physics. It represents here much more, as it has a subtle luminous nature and is the very space of consciousness from which appear and then disappear all things, beings and phenomena from the manifested world. We say that the breath is the primordial sound of life because it is just as an ineffable song sustaining the life in that being. The spiritual tradition of India has identified this subtle sound from immemorial times as the mantra SO-HAM. 
Both the mind and the prana, through their particular forms of expression (the word and the energetic vibration respectively) originate in the subtle macrocosmic sound (sabdha). This subtle macrocosmic sound (sabdha) is usually rendered through the mantra-s. We may understand at this point the tremendous importance of the use of mantra-s in our daily sadhana, as the mantra-s purify, energize and elevate the mind and the soul to the highest degree. The devotee who calls upon Tara with great love and reverence during this process of evolution and accomplishment of different psycho-mental aspects will receive her compassionate guidance and ultimately, the liberating grace of the divine transcendence. |
