evolution. The fifth group of the celestial beings in the
Pura-n.a-s form the mystery of this sign. As the great
impersonal Spirit (Pararma-tma) which forms the
background of the Spiritual principle (A
-
tma) there is the
beginning of creation. This descends into a group of the
highest God-principles that are dual in nature. They are
called units of spirit-soul (A
-
tma-Buddhi). From them the
next group comes down as the celestial beings of spirit-
soul-intellect (A
-
tma-Buddhi-Manas). These beings live only
as principles with the shapes of the subsequent creation
as recollections in them. Another set of beings started from
the same source but deviated into the opposite direction
to complete the circle and also prepare the forms of living
beings. Then the former group entered into them. Then
only the existence of man became complete. Capricorn
contains the potencies of this fifth group of celestial beings,
who are dual in their nature. It contains both the spiritual
and the physical aspects of the universe; the two poles of
Mahat (the universal intelligence) and the dual nature of
man, the spiritual and the physical. The rays of the
morning Sun contain this dual nature and import these
celestial beings to awaken us daily.
The four signs from Sagittarius to Pisces contain this
dual nature of the double evolution of man. For this

Sushumna through the passage of Mu-la-dha-ra. They find
their expression on the Sushumna, when they serve as the
higher counterparts of the four signs from Gemini to
