GRAIL, HOLY OR RICH 

A symbol of the Divine Life, Wisdom and Love (atma-buddhi), vehicle in the causal-body (the chalice). The quest of the Grail is the search by the indwelling Self below in the Personality, of the Wisdom and Love-nature above in the Individuality. This search is the Divine drama of the Soul, in which the Self as a hero goes through the experiences of the lower life, contending against ignorance and evil and releasing the higher qualities held captive by the lower.

“Seen from different standpoints, the Grail became the emblem of moral purity, or of triumphant faith, or of soldierly heroism, or of gracious charity; the radiance of it became the radiance of ' that ultimate perfection which allures those who struggle, and rewards those who attain." - ROSE, Ency. of Religion and Ethics.
