BIBLE VERSES

VARUNA, THE INVESTING SKY

A symbol of Truth-reality manifesting as the Divine Will in the cycle of life.

"Wise and mighty are the works of him (Varuna) who stemmed asunder the wide firmaments (heaven and earth). He lifted on high the bright and glorious heaven; he stretched out apart the starry sky and the earth' (A prayer of Vasishtha to Varuna). - Rig-Veda, VII. 86.

The lower nature (Vasishtha) aspires towards the eternal Truth, in veneration for that which transcends the ignorance and illusion on the lower planes. The Divine Will differentiates between the spiritual and material natures, and elevates the higher planes above the lower in the consciousness of the soul.
