DAYLIGHT AND DARKNESS
Symbolic of the spiritual and the material
aspects of existence. Perception and non-perception of the higher
activities of being.
"Now what daylight, as it were, there was for Pragâpati, on creating
the gods, of that he made the day; and what darkness, as it were,
there was for him, on creating the Asuras, of that he made the
night: there are these two, day and night." - Sata. Brâh., XI. 1, 6,
11.
Divine Wisdom (Pragâpati) is said "by the breath of his mouth" to
"create the gods on entering the sky," which means that the highest
ideals (gods) of goodness and truth are first produced on the plane
of buddhi (sky). Then their opposites, evil and error (the asuras),
are necessitated to appear on the astral and lower mental planes.
Thus manifestation becomes divided into higher and lower planes: the
first, a realm of light (day), and the second, a realm of darkness
(night).
