(Utta-na Pa-da). While the earth rotates on its own axis the
apparent circle of the Sun’s daily motion serves as a
charged coil of wire. This makes the earth a magnet.
Again, the rotation of the earth serves the purpose of a
magnet to induce electric charge in the etheric currents
around the earth. The etheric currents run around the
earth, touching its two poles. The electric charge thus
produced and circulated through the induction coil of the
etheric currents, manifests as the vital body of the earth.
It is distributed as the life of the Jeeva-s on this earth. The
Jeeva-s are eternal egos, who visit the earth from season to
season (here season means aeons of time) and the life of
the earth prepares the right vehicles for these egos. This
inter-linked action is governed by the law of karma and
the solar God in the Sun is the observer, supervisor and
the objectivizer of the karma of this earth.
On the planetary level, the Sun acts as a planet, who
governs the consciousness of all beings. Since his ray is
seven-fold in manifestation, light and sound exist in scales
of seven. All the minerals of the earth are of seven groups.
Matter, from space to earth, is of seven densities. The
existence of the solar system is floating amidst seven
planes. Each planetary body also exists simultaneously
in seven planes though periodically it is active on one of
the seven planes. Any planet makes its appearance when
its consciousness reaches the earth plane. It again recedes
into the subtler planes. This process occurs seven times,
before the planet goes out of existence into the solar level.
The body of man is composed of seven tissues. This
consistency of seven-fold nature throughout this universe
is due to the activity of the Sun.
To all the living beings of various planets, the Sun is
the gateway to communicate with the intelligences of the
cosmic plane. A yogi has to pass through the Sun-centre
