Passages from The Mother [19]

What is meant by “height” in the phrase “not wideness but height” [p. 42]?

It is very much as we speak of high ideas, high feelings, high aspirations. In that sense Mahakali’s movement is a high, swift action, very effective at the point touched, but not wide, patient, comprehensive like Maheshwari’s.
