\nAction of Light<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT depends upon the colour of the Light. In 
\nany case it is the Light of Force from above.
\nAll lights are indications of a Force or Power. It is
\nthe work of the Lights and the Forces they represent
\nto act in their descent on the lower nature and
\nchange it. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n30-7-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is not necessary or possible to define. Light is
\nlight just like the light you see, only subtle\u2014it clarifies
\nthe consciousness and works as a force and makes
\nknowledge possible.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Action and Forms of Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nLIGHT is a general term. Light is not knowledge but
\nthe illumination that comes from above and liberates
\nthe being from obscurity and darkness. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nBut this Light also assumes different forms such as
\nthe white light of the Mother, the golden light of the
\nTruth, the psychic light (pink and rose), etc.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n13-10-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Mother and the Lights<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nALL the lights are put out by the Mother from
\nherself.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>The Mother’s White Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE lights are the Mother’s Powers\u2014many in
\nnumber. The white light is her own characteristic
\npower, that of the Divine Consciousness in its essence.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n15-7-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-316 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Action of Mother’s Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE White Light is the Mother’s light. Wherever it
\ndescends or enters, it brings peace, purity, silence
\nand the openness to the higher forces. If it comes
\nbelow the navel, that means that it is working in the
\nlower vital.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n31-7-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>White and Blue Colours<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nWHITE is the colour of the light of the Mother’s
\nConsciousness\u2014Chit. Blue is the fundamental colour
\nof the Ananda.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>Deep, Pale and Whitish Blue<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHERE are many blues and it is difficult to say
\nwhich these are. Usually the deeper blue is higher
\nMind, a paler blue is Illumined Mind\u2014whitish blue
\nSri Krishna’s light. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-317 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Pale Blue and Whitish Blue<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT (the significance) depends on the shade of the
\nblue. Ordinary pale blue is usually the light of the
\nIllumined Mind or something of the Intuition.
\nWhitish blue is Krishna’s light. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Sunlight<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE Sunlight is the light of the Truth
\nitself\u2014whatever
\npower of Truth it may be\u2014while the other
\nlights derive from the Truth.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n25-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe Sunlight is the direct light of the Truth; when
\nit gets fused into the vital, it takes the mixed colour
\n\u2014here gold and green\u2014just as in the physical it
\nbecomes golden red or in the mental golden yellow.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNovember <\/b>1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-318 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Golden Light and Sun<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nGOLDEN Light always means the light of Truth\u2014but
\nthe nature of the Truth varies according <\/b> to the
\nplane to which it belongs. Light is the <\/b> light of
\nConsciousness, Truth, Knowledge\u2014the Sun is the
\nconcentration or source of the Light.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n23-8-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Golden Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE golden light is a light from the Supermind,
\nbut naturally it is modified in the plane in which
\nit
\nworks. It becomes light of Truth in the Overmind,
\nlight of Truth in the intuition.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n21-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-319 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe golden light is that of the modified (over-mentalised) Supramental, i.e., the Supramental 
\nLight passing through the Overmind, Intuition, etc.,
\nand becoming the Light of Truth in each of these
\nthings. When it is golden red it means the same
\nmodified Supramental-physical Light,\u2014the Light
\nof Divine Truth in the physical.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n9-9-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Golden and White Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHEY have always the same meaning. The white
\nlight is that of the pure conscious force from which
\nall the rest come. The golden light is that of the
\nDivine Truth on the higher planes.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nOctober 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Yellow and Golden Light<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

\nIT is again the ascent into one of the higher planes
\nof mind illumined with the light of the Divine
\nTruth. Yellow is the light of mind growing brighter
\nas one goes higher till it meets the golden light 
\nof the Divine Truth.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n5-11-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-320 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Golden Colour and Mahakali Force<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE spiritual Power is naturally more free on its
\nown level than in the body. The golden colour
\nindicates here Mahakali force which is the strongest
\nfor the working in the body. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Golden Red Light<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is not clear yet. Golden red is the colour of the
\nSupramental physical light\u2014so this yellow red
\nmay indicate some plane of the overmind in which
\nthere is a nearer special connection with that. The
\ngolden red light has a strong transforming power.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n19-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nRed is the colour of the physical\u2014touched by the
\nhigher Light it becomes golden red.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n10-9-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-321 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>Deep Red Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is the material consciousness that the deep red  light comes to transform.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe deep red light is a light that comes down into
\nthe physical for its change. It is associated with the
\nsunlight and the golden light.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNovember 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Colour of Psychic Light<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE colour of the psychic light is according to what
\nit manifests\u2014e.g., psychic love is pink or rose, the
\npsychic purity is white, etc.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Rosy Light\u2014Worlds of Neutral Peace<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE rosy light is that of love\u2014so probably you
\nentered the psychic worlds\u2014or at least one of them. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nAs for the experiences described in the other
\nletter, it seems to have been a passage through
\nworlds of neutral peace which to the mind are a
\ndarkness and stand in the way to the full light.<\/font><\/p>\n

\nII<\/a>. SYMBOLS AND IMAGES OF VISION<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSome Usual Symbols<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nFIRE, lights, sun, moon are usual symbols and seen
\nby most in Sadhana. They indicate movement or
\naction of inner forces. The Sun means the inner
\ntruth.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n17-8-1936 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-323 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>The Sun<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE Sun is the divine Truth-Light on whatever  plane <\/b> of consciousness. <\/b> It is, I suppose, the original
\nCosmic Truth that is here indicated. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe sun is the symbol of the concentrated light
\nof Truth….<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Moon<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE moon indicates spirituality, sometimes also
\nspiritual Ananda.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n22-9-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Star<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE star signifies a creation or formation or the
\npromise or power of a creation or formation.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n2-2-1934<\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-324 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>The Dawn<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nDAWN always means an opening of some kind\u2014the
\ncoming of something that is not yet fully there.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nDecember 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Sky and the Ether<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE sky is a symbol of the mental consciousness
\n(or the psychic) or other consciousnesses above the
\nmind\u2014e.g., the higher mind, intuition, overmind,
\netc. Sky as the ether indicates also the infinite.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nJanuary 1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Blue Sky and the Moon<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE blue sky is that of the Higher Mind\u2014the nearest
\nof the planes between human mentality and the
\nSupermind. The moon here is the symbol of spirituality in the mental planes. The world of the
\nHigher Mind is above those directly connected
\nwith the body-consciousness.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Seven Planes\u2014Skies <\/b> and Seas<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nSAT, Chit, Ananda, Supermind, Mind, Life, Matter
\nare the seven planes described in the Veda\u2014but
\nin this Yoga one sees many levels of consciousness.
\nwhich appear as skies or else as seas. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>Explanation of some Vision Symbols<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE first sea is the ordinary consciousness, the
\nsecond sea is the higher consciousness over which
\nis the Sun of Truth. The mountain represents the
\nascending planes of the higher consciousness. The journey in the train is the
\npassage from one consciousness to another.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n11-6-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-326 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe sea with the sun over it is a plane of consciousness lit by the Truth. To enter into the rays  is to be no longer merely lit by it, but in one’s own
\nconscious being to begin to become a part of the
\nTruth.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n4-6-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>Patala<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPATALA simply means the subconscient below the
\nEarth\u2014the Earth being the conscious physical
\nplane.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n11-3-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Mountain<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE mountain is the symbol of the embodied consciousness based upon earth but rising up towards
\nthe Divine.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n10-11-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-327 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe mountain always represents the ascending
\nhill of existence with the Divine to be reached on
\nthe summits.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n19-7-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The River<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE river represents some movement of the consciousness. All these are images of the vital plane.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n6-2-1934 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Tree<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE tree is the symbol of subconscient vital.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n18-9-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-328 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>The Cow and the Milk<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nIT is quite clear; it is the Vedic image. In the Veda the Cow is the Divine Light\u2014the white cow
\nis the pure consciousness in which there is the
\nLight. The milk is the Knowledge and Power
\ndescending from the Divine Consciousness.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n12-3-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Horse<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE Horse is Power, usually Life-Power, but also it
\nmay mean Mind-Power or Tapas if it is dynamic
\nand mobile.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nNovember 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Horse and the White Calf<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nAs<\/i> for the two dreams you wrote about in your
\nshorter letter of the 1st May, the one about the
\nhorses is not so clear as the other about the white
\ncalf. But the horse is always the symbol of Power;  <\/b>it must be then a Power which you were trying to
\ncatch, and make your own while sometimes it was <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-329 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\ntrying to come up with you, perhaps to use you.
\nThis is what happens in the vital where there are
\nthese uncertain and elusive movements. The high platform was evidently the level
\nof a higher Consciousness which stilled this fluctuating movement
\nand made control of the Power more possible, as it  became still and clear. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe white calf is the sign of a pure and clear  consciousness,\u2014the cow or calf being the symbol
\nof Light in the consciousness, something psychic
\nor spiritual that you felt natural and intimate to you
\nand inseparable. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n24-5-1937 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Elephant<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE elephant is Strength\u2014sometimes
\nillumined with Wisdom.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Lion<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE lion indicates force and courage, and strength.
\nand power. The lower vital is not lion-like. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n21-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-330 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Lion of Durga\u2014The Death’s <\/b>Head<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE lion is the attribute of the Goddess Durga, the
\nconquering and protecting aspect of the Universal
\nMother. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe Death’s Head is the symbol of the Asura
\n(the adversary of the gods) vanquished and killed by the Divine Power.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n12-7-1929 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Bull<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE bull is an emblem of strength and force. It is
\nalso in the Veda an image of the Gods, the male
\npower in Nature. Again, the bull is vāhanā<\/i> of Shiva.
\nIt may be a dream or an experience of any of these
\nsymbols, but is probably the first here.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n12-9-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Goat<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE goat in vision is often symbolic of lust.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nPage-331 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>The Snake<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE snake indicates some kind of energy always\u2014
\noftener bad, but it also can indicate some luminous
\nor divine energy. In this experience it is an ascent
\nof some force from the physical upwards. The
\nother details are not clear. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe snake in your dream is a hostile force\u2014a
\nforce of evil. When one is an instrument of the divine forces, they can be met and destroyed and
\ntheir attack becomes harmless or has insignificant results.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nMay 1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Serpent<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE serpent is a symbol of Energy as in the symbol
\nof the Kundalini Shakti\u2014here it is the Energy of the
\nDivine Light and Force. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nPage-332 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\n<\/a>The Hooded Serpent<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\nTHE serpent with the hood over the head generally
\nindicates future siddhi.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n18-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Lotus\u2014The Swan\u2014The Interlaced Serpents <\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nand the Six-hooded Serpent<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE Lotus is the symbol of the opening of the centres
\nto the Light. The Swan is the Indian symbol of the
\nindividual soul, the central being, the divine part
\nwhich is turned towards the Divine, descending
\nfrom there and ascending to it. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe two serpents interlaced are the two channels in the spine, through which the Shakti moves
\nupward and downward. <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThe serpent with the six hoods is the Kundalini
\nShakti, the divine power asleep in the lowest physical
\ncentre which, awakened in the Yoga, ascends in light
\nthrough the opening centres to meet the Divine in the highest centre and so connect the manifest and the unmanifested, joining spirit and Matter.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>The Opening Lotuses and the Swan<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE opening of the lotuses in your experience means,
\nI suppose, the opening of the true vital and physical  consciousness in which the spiritual being (the Swan)
\ncan manifest with all the consequences of that opening.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\n4-7-1933 <\/font><\/p>\n

\n<\/a>The Swan and the Lotus<\/i> <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(1)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE swan is the liberated soul, the lotus is either
\nthe consciousness reddening to the colour of Divine
\nLove or else the symbol of the Divine Presence on earth. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n(2)<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/font><\/p>\n

\nTHE Swan is a symbol of the soul on the higher plane.<\/font><\/p>\n
