ritualistic or the naturalistic symbolism. of the Veda is at its minimum in
this hymn of the Atharvaveda, trans­lated almost literally. The Pillar, it is
explicitly said, is the Brahman, the Supreme Reality. It is <i>sarvadhara, </i>the
contain­er of all, the total or integral existence. It upholds the crea­tion,
it has entered into the creation and it has become the creation. It is the
tree, the Aswattha tree as the Upanishad also describes, with its branches
spreading out, <i>i.e. </i>all the multiple aspects of the creation. Even the
gods, all of them, find shelter here in one form or other. All gods it is: Agni
the Divine Force, Indra the Divine Mind, Soma the Divine Delight. It is Tapas,
the upward urge in the Universe, it is Satyam the Truth and Ritam the
Truth-action, Vak the Truth-word.</p>

and Night also are its dual aspects, Light and Dark­ness - evolution and
involution, expression and withdrawal, Being and Non-Being, Knowledge and
Ignorance. The image of twin sisters (rivers) refers also to this double move­ment
of consciousness, everywhere in Nature: ascent and descent, inward and outward,
the two wings of the Cosmic Bird flying through eternity and infinity. To mark
the pro­gress of Time or in Time, cycles of duration (months, half months,
seasons etc.) are also noted here as limbs of this Supreme total Reality. To
this double movement there is to be added a third movement: if the double
movement means</p>

there is a movement of synthesis also. To the movement sideways there is to be
a movement beyond. We know of this threefold movement in the mystery of the
Kundalini Force: the two currents <i>ida </i>and <i>pingala </i>on either side
of the spinal cord and in between the mounts the <i>susumna </i>heading towards
the beyond, to the Crown of the head. The Beyond is of course the Transcendent,
the supreme status of Brahman, the All Container.</p>
