DURVA-BRICK, OF THE ALTAR

A symbol of the personality, or the lower self in the mental body.

“'Inasmuch as he lays down the dviya. gus brick close to the durva-brick (cattle), -the durva-brick being the breath and the dviyagus the Sacrificer,-those two bodies of his (human and divine) thus become connected by breath." - SataBráh., VII. 4, 2, 20.

The two centres of consciousness,- the Individuality and the Personality, -are interconnected upon the mental plane. The human personality is the expression on the lower planes of the Divine individuality.
