FOOTSTEPS OF BUDDHA
A symbol of the three higher and four lower planes of the universe and soul; the arena of the Self's activities.
"Unflurried, with the lotus-sign in high relief, far-striding, set down with a stamp,-seven such firm footsteps did Buddha take, he was like the constellation of the seven rishis." - Buddha, Karita, Bk. I. 33.
Of Sattvic energy, with the ideal of spiritual perfection held high before the Self (the soul in involution), with gaze intently set upon the things of the Eternal,- -seven firm efforts in succession were then made by Him. These represented the Self's progress through the seven planes of cosmic activity. The "constellation of the seven rishis" symbolically refers to the seven planes of manifestation.
