Worlds within Worlds

To the naked eye the banyan seed is nothing more than a globule with some irregularity in its structure. To the mind it is a germinative unit. To the consciousness of the soul it is the potential where the whole banyan tree is printed on the plane of recollection. Similarly the space around us is an empty globe to the naked eye, the eye naked of mind. To the mind that is stimulated into comprehension the space globe is a seed of himself to everyone who observes it. That point of horizon wherefrom the Sun appears every morning is the stalk of the seed in which he is himself lying through his span. To the consciousness of the soul it is the original of which this position the mother's womb was a replica at the time when he was established in the name of fertilisation. The germ of the father has a time to establish in the egg of the mother to inaugurate his own existence and the time and place of that occurrence presents the globe of space which gives the stimulation to the child in the mother's womb. The point on the Eastern horizon at the time of the fertilisation corresponds with the stalk of that particular egg in the mother's womb. Along the inner surface of the egg the map of the zodiac is printed with the position of the planets at that time. The planets in the solar system sow their seeds in the egg to form the tendencies that stimulate the inner soul to unfold into its own mind, senses and body.

The soul is a traveller who had completed part of his journey through the spiral paths of evolution and reached a particular stage when it entered the mother's womb at the time of the fertilisation. The position of the planets at that time is an index of the stage of evolution, the soul is passing through. It is a sequence of the past phases with seeds of the future stages. The horoscope calculated for the time of fertilisation has a past and a future. When progressed forward it indicates the future and when progressed backwards it indicates the past. The position of the developing frame of the child with all the limbs drawn towards a centre around which it lay folded indicates another important point which we call umbilicus. The position of the head bears a correspondence with the Eastern horizon and the zodiacal sign rising at that time, along with the planets therein. The umbilicus bears its correspondence with the VII house and the zodiacal sign that is setting along with the planets therein. These two points, the first house and the seventh house of the horoscope at the time of fertilisation work as two poles to distribute the matter of the tissues that form the physical body. The head centre which corresponds with the first house works as a positive pole and the solar plexus which corresponds with the seventh house works as the negative pole to serve the purpose of the distribution of the matter of the tissues. The head centre is the first to form at the time of fertilisation and serves as the transmitting centre as a potential at first. It is thrown down in the course of the formation of the spinal tube along which the creator consciousness of the individual makes its sojourn to investigate the downward path. The third took of Bhagavatham describes this as the journey of Brahma the creator into the barrel of the lotus stalk upon which he is seated. Brahma questions to himself “where am I and where from this Lotus sprouts?" Then he makes a journey down the barrel to know the depth of the ocean upon which he is floating. Then he questions to himself as to how to create this unit creation. From the yonder skies of the cosmic existence he receives the feeling that he is not a separate entity from the rest. He is a part of the whole and he is a world within a world and a creator within the creator. This makes him understand that he is not the creator but he is a creator. He is made to create and not expected to create by himself. This gives him the plan for his creation which is but a replica of the plan that already existed around and within himself.

In the womb of the mother the creator consciousness finds itself induced by its pair of creators (father and mother) to create its own frame in the same old fashion as that of the parent. Then the planets progressing from the time of fertilisation will suggest to him from time to time through impression as to what chemicals he has to extract from the mother to form the content of the physical body. They initiate him into the mysteries of the numerical potencies by virtue of which he produces the limbs and their counterparts in fixed numbers. Example: His pair of eyes, pair of nostrils, pair of ears, lungs and thirty-two teeth etc. Number-consciousness, shape-consciousness and mind-consciousness develop simultaneously to assist the reproduction of the frame and its growth. Here the planets work as the planetary Masters, who initiate the soul into the recollection from his past births. In the light of these things the soul works up the sheaths required around him and enacts a drama of nine months during which time it assumes all the shapes of its past journey front the stage of amoeba to the present stage of human being. The planets also give a stimulation to the functional side of the metabolism, which is but a habit-forming nature to repeat the function in equal periodicities of time.

What the mother's physical body is to the child, the space globe is to the soul to serve as a model according to which the child is to be developed. The wisdom of the heavens imparts this branch of information through the law of correspondence, which forms the main key to read the script on the vault of heavens.
