COW-PASSIVE
A symbol of the negative, receptive aspect of Buddhi.
“Scratching the back of a cow destroys all guilt, and giving her to eat procures exaltation in heaven."-Institutes of Vishnu, XXIII, 60.
The meaning of this quaint statement is evident Doing that which is well-pleasing to the unmanifest Holy Spirit (cow) by exercising the higher emotions, destroys the lower attractions. Offering up the desires and affections results in their being transmuted by Buddhi (cow) on the higher planes.
“Cows alone make sacrificial oblations possible (by producing sacrificial butter), cows take away every sin." - Ibid., 58.
The higher emotions alone make the sacrifice of the lower qualities possible through the response from above of Wisdom (milk) and Love (butter) to strengthen the aspirations. The higher or buddhic emotions take away all wish for the objects of sensation and desire which are regarded as transitory and unsatisfying.
