GOAT, MILCH
A symbol of error and desire, the lower food of
the soul.
“And Mashya and Mashyoi had gone thirty days without food, covered
with clothing of herbage; and after the thirty days they went forth
into the wilderness, came to a white‑haired goat, and milked the
milk from the udder with their mouths." — The Bundahis, Ch. XV. 10.
And for the lunar cycle (30 days), the Soul, comprising the
sub‑mental and love natures, proceeded on the astral plane with the
growth of the earlier desires and instincts; upwards it struggled to
the mental plane, and encountered the goat — a symbol of false
knowledge and desire, “white‑haired” because attractive and
alluring. The drinking of the goat’s milk signifies the partaking of
sensuous enjoyment in external activities, resulting in the
evolution of the desire‑mental nature. This constitutes the fall of
mind and emotion into matter.
