6. Inner Vision — Symbols — Colours
These are symbols — a white flower is a symbol of consciousness, the sun represents Knowledge or Truth, the moon stands for the spiritual light, the star indicates creation, fire symbolises tapasya, askesis or aspiration.
Golden rose = love and surrender full of the true consciousness.
White lotus = the Mother's Consciousness (Divine Consciousness).
The cow is a symbol of consciousness and light. A white cow means the higher pure consciousness.
The child is your psychic being who is bringing out the true things from within you — the road is that of the Higher Mind going up towards the Truth.
