opposed . His pattern shines forth as creation and his valour is immeasurable.

1.The brilliance of every manifested light depends upon the medium of light,

where as the brilliance of the Lord in the form of immanent fire shines forth

with in Himself into every form of creation.

2.His brilliance can be comprehended by becoming brilliant through the process

of worship . Worship makes the worshipper brilliant and makes the brilliance of

the Lord realized.

3. The sign Aquarius brings mankind to perfection throught expansion of

comprehension . A perfected soul is only a unit existence of the Lord Himself

and the sign Aquarius represents it .

4.Visiddatma, the perfected soul is the very existence of the Lord as man .

5.The process of purification unto perfection is also caused by the Lord who

presides over time and fruition of things . The incidents in one’s own life

lead one to purification of mind and senses and make him realise the brilliance

of soul incourse of time .

6,7.pradyumna and Aniruddha are two patterns of creation out of the four through

which the Lord descends into and absorbs the whole creation into Himself.

since the body, mind and senses of everyone are filled with the presence of the

Lord and nothing else

9.Valour is everyone is one of the expression of theLord and hence his valour

cannot be measured by anyone .
