ELEPHANTS OF THE KING'S ENEMIESSymbolic of nature forces organized during the process of the soul's involution. "Falling smitten by his arm in the arena of battle, the lordly elephants of his enemies bowed prostrate with their heads pouring forth quantities of pearls as if they were offering handfuls of flowers in homage." - Buddha-Karita, Bk. I. 11. Falling smitten" implies the descent of Spirit into matter. The “elephants" signify nature-forces, which though blind are yet submissive to the will of the Logos. The " prostrate position," and "pearls, etc.," are emblematic of absolute obedience, and the results in virtues which are secured through the play of these forces in involution. |
