Goddess Bala Tripurasundari is an embodiment of one's inner child. The deeper the emotional wounds coming from the inner child, the more harder it is for the person to grow up from within. Goddess Bala as she is fondly called by her devotees teaches one to go to these places in one's heart and open up the numbed feelings, neglected hurts, blocked up tears and nudges us playfully to release them and invites herself in going by how pure, how sincere is the seeker's heart to bear it all to allow her to wipe them clean. She strengthens the root in us, the root that makes the person who he/she is, and for that she needs the complete truth, even at the cost of feeling fully naked and really vulnerable like a child from deep within - no filters, no superficialities, just plain innocent truth is all she wants and to simply surrender without any doubts just like how a child instantly trusts his/her parent/caretaker to guide or take care when in fear, pain, or hurt.
It's this childlike trust that she connects to as she can easily see through the many layers that prevents one from admitting to one's flawed conditioning and unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaving that starts from quite an early stage of one's life. She begins from the start and when she does, she becomes a playmate, a reminder to not get bogged down by life's current situations and past dense emotional wounds and hurts, but to accept the present for what it is. Goddess Bala teaches you, if you allow her to, to actually grow up once again.
She is radiant divinity and endearing smile and purity clothed in beautiful clothes and adornments that befit a girl child. She is the deepest yearning come true for the childless, she is the gentle mother for an emotionally hurt inner child, and she is a joy to grow old with.
In a sense, Goddess Bala adopts us irrespective of whether we have a child or otherwise and is truly the 'Child is the father/mother of the man.'
