SUN AS THE DOOR
A symbol of the Higher Self as the means by which
the lower consciousness shall rise to union with the higher.
“When he departs from this body he mounts upwards by those very rays
(the rays of the sun which enter the arteries of the body), or he is
removed while saying Om. And quickly as he sends off his mind (as
quick as thought), he goes to the sun. For the sun is the door of
the world, an entrance for the knowing, a bar to the ignorant.” — *Khand.
Upanishad*, VIII.6.5.
When the perfected soul quits the vehicle of the lower mind, it
passes upwards by means of the Divine Life (rays) from above, which
purifies the currents of thought and emotion (arteries); or by means
of the inspiration of Truth and Righteousness (Om). And immediately
as the ego (mind) is liberated, the consciousness rises to the
causal‑body, and union is effected between the lower Self and the
Higher Self. For the Higher Self (sun) is the means of union (the
door) — the “way, the truth, and the life,” which lead to
immortality. From the lower life (world) the Self is the means of
raising the perfected soul to bliss, and of relegating the
unperfected to further experience and discipline below.
