Meditation 66
(May 25, Jul. 19, Nov. 27, Jan. 21)
Wheel is Zero.
Wheel cut is one.
One and Zero is number ten.
Brahma in the egg is one in Zero.
When the wheel is cut,
He becomes Virat, number ten.
Commentary:
Wheel is Zero. Zero means fullness or nilness. Nilness is potential fullness. Fullness is fully manifested potential. From nilness to fullness and from fullness to nilness, one creation happens. When it is nil, it swings towards full. When it is full, it swings towards nil. When the swing is from nilness, it starts sprouting within itself. It is said in the previous meditations that space is a globe. From the globe of space, awareness springs out for manifestation. As the awareness grows, it sprouts out of the globe. This sprouting out opens the globe into a lotus. The sprouted one presides over the lotus. He is the Creator (Brahma). Before He sprouted, He was in the egg. After He sprouted, the egg became a lotus and He stood aside the lotus. He is the first sprouted one. His number is one. The egg that stands aside is zero. Together it is ten (one and zero). The one was in the zero before. When He came out to further create, He had become ten. Ten times He manifests zeros. The wheel rotates along with Him.
Number ten has been the basis of all the theologies. The Rigveda speaks of Virat, whose number is ten. They symbolically present him as under. The Greek mention the Decad. Judaism mentions the Sephirothal Tree. The Puranas mention the ten Prajapatis representing the ten manifestations. The ten manifestations essentially are the three Logoi and the Seven Seers or the three qualities and the seven planes. The wisdom relating to the above symbols can be found in the book Secret Doctrine written by Madam Blavatsky. Briefly, it can also be found in the books of this author: Lord Dattatreya, The Sacred Doctrine– Sankhya, Hercules, etc.
