BIBLE VERSES

FAT DRIPPING DOWN

A symbol of the desire nature which is directed to the sensations and the objects of sense

"When the sacrifice was completed, they collected the dripping fat from it; it formed the beasts of the air, of the wild places and of the village" - Rig Veda X 90 8

The "dripping fat" signifies the love-nature inverted in the down-ward attraction of the mind (air), and to be found in the desires (beasts) and passions (wild) connected with the astral centre (village). The "sacrifice was completed" means that the Self was fully involved in matter, that is, the One Self had limited Himself in order that the many selves should have life through Him
