Book 5. Part Two: The Opening of the Inner Senses · Section Three: Symbols

Mahakali in the higher planes appears usually with the golden colour.

* These — Kali, Shyama, etc. — are ordinary forms seen through the vital; the real Mahakali form whose origin is in the Overmind is not black or dark or terrible, but golden of colour and full of beauty, even when formidable to the Asuras.
