What is being conveyed by the “thousand-pillared temple by Time’s sea”? ✍🏼

‘The Immanent shall be the witness God
Watching on his many-petalled lotus-throne
His actionless being and his silent might
Ruling earth-nature by eternity’s law,
A thinker waking the Inconscient’s world,
An immobile centre of many infinitudes
In his thousand-pillared temple by Time’s sea.’

(Ref. https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/34/the-eternal-day-the-souls-choice-and-the-supreme-consummation#p296)

The thousand-pillared temple by Time’s sea (the image is incidentally so suggestive of the Rameshwaram temple) is the junction of the two hemispheres, the meeting point of the One and the Many. The temple is the House of the Spirit (the Supermind), where the flow of Time and the expansion of Space begin, or rather, where Time and Timelessness meet. The thousand pillars are the many forces of creation that uphold the manifestation linking the inconscient base to the Supramental Creator above.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
