What spiritual significance does the planetary parade have๐Ÿ™‚ ?

From the occult point of view it means that certain forces that govern our life are coming together and aligning themselves. It is likely to have a beneficial cosmic influence but hardly any spiritual significance. Spiritual consciousness rises way beyond these forces that still belong to the realm of ignorance. As long as we remain tied to the Ignorance they affect and influence us but the moment we start our journey towards the deeper spiritual reality, towards the Divine who is the Master of all, they begin to lose their hold and influence upon us.

Affectionately,

The original story is clearly symbolic of the triple forces of Nature, Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, the three chariots of three asura brothers, notably of gold, silver and iron. The three modes of nature are never aligned. If and when aligned, the Asuras die and the Self is liberated. To do that …

In Book 2 Canto 10, Section 4 (68) ‘The Kingdoms and Godheads of Little Mind’, Sri Aurobindo talks about dwarf three-bodied trinity. Are they Thought, Desire and Reason? Is it right? If wrong then which are they?๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿ“œโœ’๏ธ

The dwarf triple bodied trinity are the three levels at which the present human mind operates. They are, in evolutionary sequence, the physical, vital and the mental mind or the mind proper.ย 

The physical mind is heavily dependent upon the senses and the raw data they provide. It trusts only that which can be seen and measured. Then there is the vital mind that takes flights of imagination, thereby escaping from the ‘sensory reality’ in search of that which is hidden. It is the mind that fantasises, and in the process, might hit…
