ARCHED GATEWAYS

A symbol of mental qualities which open the way to knowledge. "The City of Kapila with its festive arbours, its arched gateways and pinnacles, it was radiant with jewels in every dwelling; and unable to find any other rival in the world, it could only feel emulation with its own houses."-The Buddha-Karita, Bk. I.

The abode of the Self on the higher planes of atma, buddhi, manas, is the perfection of all virtues, mental qualities, and aspirations. Within the soul (potential) is all beauty and excellence. At this stage of early involution, the Self is absolute unity, there is no Second Self to manifest. At this period no duality is apparent; there are no opposites, therefore no conflict takes place.
