ARROW, THE SELF-MOVING

A symbol of the illusive will of the lower self, which is moved to action by desire.

The man who fills himself with meat, is filled with the good spirit. It is this man that can strive against the onsets of Astovîdhôtu: that can strive against the self-moving arrow.”—Vendi-dad, IV. S. B. of E.

The mind that assimilates knowledge is filled with that which is necessary for its growth. The mind thus stored is able to withstand the temptations which may assail the ego from the plane of the desires, and hold in check the lower personality, or lower will.
