VISVAKARMAN

A symbol of the Higher Self as the Divine sacrifice and the Incarnate Self.

"The Seer and a Priest, who offering all the worlds as a sacrifice, came down as our Father, he, appearing first, entered among mortals, desiring wealth with blessing (Rig-Veda). - MAX MÜLLER, Science of Religion, p. 162.

“The all-seeing and all-knowing Self limits himself in manifesting the universe, and in descending into matter to be our progenitor, he becomes first the Archetypal Man in order to manifest in us the higher qualities, and attain through effort to supernal bliss.

“Sacrifice is the necessary condition for the revealing of the highest kind of life either in man or God." - R. J. CAMPBELL, Serm., Jesus and the Life-Force.

"The last in order of time, broadly speaking, so far as the world-process is concerned, is the highest in order of being."-Ibid., Serm., The Source of God.
