BHARATA, THE VICE-KING
A symbol of the moral nature which rules the soul in the absence of the greater spiritual nature which is to follow.
"Bharata consents to take charge of the kingdom as a deposit. He bears away Rama's shoes on his head in token of this. . . . Until the return of the rightful king, never transacting any business without laying it before the shoes." - MON. WILLIAMS, Indian Wisdom, p. 354.
The moral nature rules for the soul's welfare until the spiritual nature is sufficiently evolved to take charge;when love of the ideal supersedes duty. The moral nature venerates the spiritual and puts it in the highest place in the mind (head). It recognises that in the spiritual is the power of progress (shoes), and it therefore, in all its operations, defers to the Higher Self-the Love nature which sooner or later will enter upon the kingdom which the moral nature is preparing for it.
