Today, solar Festival or Full Moon of Scorpio (Earth and Moon in Taurus), the eleventh of the 12 Festivals of this year 6.2 dedicated to Space, Infinity and the Christic Principle of Love-Wisdom as the Bases of the New World Religion, we celebrate an admirable symbol of the generative and creative power of Infinity: the Mother of the World.
The Harmony of the Mother is the chalice of Victory
«Each era has its own symbol» says the Teaching. «Formerly the dove was Our symbol; now it is the chalice of podvig.» (Leaves of Morya’s Garden – Illumination § 264)
«Again we come to the idea of life as a chalice of wondrous remedy. To drink the poison of the world and be reborn with full power! This ritual comes from ancient legends. We see it in Egypt and in Greece. Shiva himself performs it, and a whole chain of Redeemers drinks the chalice of poison, transforming it into Amrita. When We say, “Be different, and do not deprive yourself of the Chalice of Achievement,” We thereby indicate to you not to darken your life and not to spill the Chalice. I confirm how much is given to you. Every particle understood and applied will give new life. Thus, witness the rain of possibilities and rejoice at the rainbow.» (Agni Yoga § 304)
«Eternally moving, eternally striving, eternally aspiring to the heights, eternally manifesting vigilance, affirming Truth, manifesting the radiant thread of the Mother of the World by the armor of infinite beauty, assailing the darkness of ignorance, promising to the abode of humanity the glory of the stars—thus walk, saying, “World, I wish to accept all thy gifts; I wish to fill to the brim the chalice of attainment; I wish, O Lord, to drain the chalice of the Wisdom of Thy Covenants!”» (Infinity I § 7)
«I say that you must learn to affirm the Origin in the beauty of Cosmos by permeating life with the hymns of the Mother of the World.» (Agni Yoga § 623)
«I will safeguard you with a helmet of faith, an armor of devotion, and a shield of victory. And on the banner will be inscribed: Love, the Conqueror.» (Leaves of Morya’s Garden – The Call § 299)
«… a wondrous truth is in beauty. Cosmos affirms evolution by this formula. Cosmos directs the world to the mastery of beauty. Yes, verily, the Mother of the World possesses the Magnet of Beauty. And wherever the Spatial Fire has collected the fiery affirmation of its forms, the fire of the spirit manifests itself. When the invisible process is revealed to the fiery spirit, it may then be said that the creative transmutation has been confirmed. Therefore, one may say that the psycho-dynamics of the spirit transmutes as a most saturated fire. When the centers can flamingly reflect the will of the Cosmic Magnet, then the psycho-dynamics of the spirit unites the higher planes with the planet.» (Infinity I § 178)
The Fiery Veil
Upon the highest summit stands effulgent the Mother of the World.
She came forth to smite the darkness.
Why are the enemies fallen?
And whither do they turn their eyes in desperation?
She has cloaked Herself in a fiery mantle
and encircled Herself in a fiery wall.
She is our Citadel and our Striving.
(H. Roerich, On Eastern Crossroads – Legends and Prophecies of Asia)
The Harmony of the Mother is the chalice of Victory
