BIBLE VERSES

RUDRA

A symbol of the Higher Self in several aspects – Destroyer of evil, Saviour of good, etc.

“We seek from Rudra, the lord of songs, the lord of sacrifices, who possesses healing remedies, his auspicious favour; from him who is brilliant as the sun, who shines like gold, who is the best and most bountiful of the gods” (Vedas). – Muir, O.S. Texts, IV. 299.

The Higher Self is entreated as the power which brings harmony and spiritual response to the offering up of the lower nature, for the Self possesses reality to take the place of illusion. The Self is the source of Light and Life; his wisdom (gold), goodness, and love are bestowed on all that are ready to receive.
