Stanza IV.I
Bhagavad-gītā wrote:“I will state the times (conditions) at which devotees departing (from this life) do so never to return (be reborn), or to return (to incarnate again).The Fire, the Flame, the day, the bright (lucky) fortnight, the six months of the Northern solstice, departing (dying) in these, those who know the Brahman (Yogis) go to the Brahman.Smoke, night, the dark (unlucky) fortnight, the six months of the Southern solstice, (dying) in these, the devotee goes to the lunar light (or mansion the astral light also) and returns (is reborn).These two paths, bright and dark, are said to be eternal in this world (or great kalpa, ‘ Age ’ ).By the one a man goes never to come back, by the other he returns.”
From the Western point of view there's strongly satanic message in the Bhagavad-gītā citation as dying from the parts the shadow is cast causes rebirth (slaying the lunar images ie. killing the messenger, we make ourselves lunar gods - the creators of the weight of material existence) for the problem wasn't confronted, while allowing ourselves to die where the light is casted upon releases the dead weight in to the void.
I guess the deities ”Fire, Flame, Day” etc. are the ones further opened on Sloka III.
The Secret Doctrine wrote:”But there are two “ Fires ” and a distinction is made between them in the Occult teachings.The first, or the purely Formless and invisible Fire concealed in the Central Spiritual Sun, is spoken of as “ triple ” (metaphysically) ; while the Fire of the manifested Kosmos is Septenary, throughout both the Universe and our Solar System.“ The fire or knowledge burns up all action on the plane of illusion,” says the commentary.“ Therefore, those who have acquired it and are emancipated, are called ‘ Fires.’ ” Speaking of the seven senses symbolised as Hotris, priests, the Brâhmana says in Anugîtâ : “ Thus these seven (senses, smell and taste, and colour, and sound, etc., etc.) are the causes of emancipation ;” and the commentator adds : “ It is from these seven from which the Self is to be emancipated.‘ I ’ (am here devoid of qualities) must mean the Self, not the Brâhmana who speaks.”
This division to the triple suns an the septenary reminded me of the Tree of Life and how later in the Stanza Blavatsky writes of a similar division regarding the ten Sephiroth. So I guess on an individual level one seeks to purify oneself until the lower Sephiras no more points towards anything.
Stanza IV.II
I find myself easily freezing too much on higher-lower thinking and this Sloka seems to ask for seeing the high in the low & vice versa.
The Secret Doctrine wrote:
"Latent, during Pralaya, and active, during Manvantara, the “ Primordial ” proceed from “ Father-Mother ” (Spirit- Hyle, or Ilus ) ; whereas the other manifested Quaternary and the Seven proceed from the Mother alone. It is the latter who is the immaculate Virgin-Mother, who is overshadowed, not impregnated, by the Universal Mystery — when she emerges from her state of Laya or undifferentiated condition."
The Virgin-Mother (who I could speculate to be Anna ie. Anael here) is overshadowed at this point by the forces of creation. I think the mothers role to sort of be there for the baby and distance from the individual self is connected to this mystery. This child is not the Christ aspect, but Adam – the wordly child bursting in to the world with blue eyes. For Adam the feminine principle is Eve who is the world and its attractions – the erotic charge our shadow holds. When these shadows have been all looked through it's time for Eve to rememer her immaculate Mother and to become Virgin Mary who at this point becomes impregnated by the Holy Ghost.
Ervast has written about this Adam-Eve Virgin Mary-Christ movement more elaborately in the second volume of the Christosophia trilogy, but once again I'm sorry to say it's yet to be translated to English. To put it short and hoping my lense doesn't distort Ervasts fine understanding too much, Adam is the rational mind and Eve is the Heart containing all our emotions. These emotions are confronted by bringing the sexes together eventually leading to purified Heart and the revealing of the Immaculate Mother and her pregnancy.
