Short, but pithy poem. But I don't understand your description of Durga Mandir as...dark energy... Can God's android Goddesses be representative of gloom or darker pools of spiritual force? I doubt.

you did not get the gist of the poem. This universe is made up primarily of dark energy and dark matter. the manifested universe is only about 4%. the primordial nature of the great goddess durga has been equated to this dark energy, which means that everything in the universe is she alone.

I get it and I think that Sathyanaryana is getting to the gist of the poem which is that YOU don't even know what it is that you are trying to convey....

The force seems to grow, exponentially with the volume of space; but, even our brightest minds don't have any definitive answers. We are embryonic in our understanding of even the simplest things. The sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner wisdom will lead us to asking appropriate questions. The cosmological constant was begrudgingly inserted into equations to qualify a steady state, and then thought to be the biggest mistake Einstein made until expansion and accelerated inflation were thought to be the paradigm. At times, I am satisfied with just being ignorantly awed. : -)

Dynamic and energizing this poem highlights the insignificance of the human ego in the context of this immense universe,

That's a great interpretation of this poem. I was meant to extoll her virtues and highlight our arrogant species which can get often carried away.

The great goddess is Time herself, the unifying principle of all matter in this universe. Vintage poem!

She indeed is, something that I've talked about in another poem of mine. Thank you!

Your humility and devotion to the great goddess comes shining through in this jewel of a poem. I love the analogy of her outgoing breath to the cosmological constant.
