ASPAHI-ASTRA WHIPA symbol of the Cosmic Will in the laws of nature for the disciplining of the soul. "If a man shall bury in the earth the corpse of a man or of a dog, and not disinter within half a year, he shall pay penalties of 500 stripes with the Aspahi-astra and 500 with the Sraosho-karana." - Vendidad III S B of E. If the lower personality (corpse) is not outgrown within a certain period, the ego continues to undergo those trials and sufferings which must come to it so long as it identifies itself with its lower nature (earth), imprisoned in the meshes of the matter of the lower planes (earth). The "500 stripes" signify the operations of the Cosmic Will. "Sraosho-karana" means the Divine purpose. The corpse of dog signifies the lower or desire will. |
