BIRD, GREAT“The God‑like Bird” which sits upon the Tree of Life, under the names Hiranyagarbha, Karshipta, Simorg, Sinamru. A symbol of the Higher Self or the Individuality, seated, as it were, upon the Divine Ray direct from the Absolute. “There are times when we all get glimpses of that greater Self, that Self beneath the self, that Life within our life, that struggles for expression like a bird behind the bars of a cage; that Soul within the soul which as a fourteenth‑century mystic puts it, ‘hath never consented to sin, nor ever shall.’ That is the real you, the real me, the real Man in every man.” — R. J. Campbell, Serm., Our Solidarity in God. “In the Rig‑Veda (x. 149, 3) the sun is called the bird of Savitri.” — A. Barth, Religions of India, p. 20. The sun is the symbol of the Higher Self. |
