Sun 253begins with dusk and culminates at dawn. Like the terms
above and below, the terms ‘day’ and ‘night’ are also
relative to the observer and his understanding of the Sun.
“Those who are above, call it below and those who are
below, call it above” is a very powerful sentence in the
Ve-da to meditate.* The expansion of vision depends upon
the concept of light. “One who does not know this.......
what can one do with light?” says the Ve-da. The meaning
of the term that is concealed in the double activity of Sun.
Matter is said to be the starting point in the ascent of
consciousness into spirit. Also, spirit is called the starting
point of the descent of the same into matter.
The real starting point however lies in the spiritual
Sun. Matter is understood by the seers as “The hole or
the hollow dug by Fohat” in space. Space, which is the
passage of matter into spirit, is called void by those who
cannot see both the sides. This double activity of
consciousness emanates from the spiritual Sun, the seat
of that number which exists between Zero and One. Many
are discoveries of the seers of wisdom about the hidden
secrets of the Sun God. It is impossible for a mere man to
describe and divulge their significance through a book
such as this. Man, attempting to interpret the wisdom of
Sun through books, is like an ant trying to swallow the
sky. Let the sincere student carefully meditate upon the
given concepts and dwell in them through his intuition
rather than his intellect, for it is realisation he seeks after
and not knowledge.
