" When you seek to learn swimming, you will have to enter the water and struggle with the strokes. When Vibuthi is given It is a symbol of the indestructible basic substance, which every being is. All things become ash; but ash remains ash, however much you may burn it. It is also a sign of renunciation, of sacrifice and of "Jnana", which burns all "Karma" - consequently into ineffective ash.

 

It is a sign of Iswara and I apply it on your brow to remind you that you too are Divine. It is a valuable "Upadesh" about your identity. It also reminds you that the body is liable any moment to be reduced into a handful of ash. Ash is a lesson in detachment and renunciation.

 

- From Swami's Shivarathri Discourse in 1981.
