      According to a stanza in Purusha Suktha:

•       एतावानस्य महिमातो ज्यायाँश्च पूरुषः ।

पादोऽस्य विश्वा भूतानि त्रिपादस्यामृतं दिवि ॥३॥

Four Quarters of word

•       The word of god reaches the earth through the Taurus sign

•       According to a stanza in Purusha Suktha:

•       The word of god acquires the form-state or material existence .

•       The form side of god is the material universe This is the fourth quarter of the word.

•       The three quarters are in the planes of immortality

The three higher planes might be as mentioned in Gayathri mantra three Lokas called Bhur Bhuvah Suvah

Taurus – Rig Veda

Four states of word

The word of God

 

•       Taurus represents the fourth state of the word

•       According to a verse from Rig Veda :

•       The other three states of the word are placed in the cave i.e.  unmanifested 

•       Men utter the fourth state of the word

•       The unmanifested 3 states of word might be

•       Thureeya , Suptha & Jagratha states of sleep  

•       Unconscious , Subconscious and Conscious states of mind

•       Sahasrara, Agna & Visudhi states of chakras

 

Soham –Taurus

•       Language and sound waves ( Voice ) of word are represented by the two wings of Great Swan          ( Parama Hamsa ) Ham & So

•       The concept of the  word travelling from speaker to the listener in space is called Saraswathi

•       Swan the word with So Ham is the vehicle of Saraswathi.

•       Utterer becomes creator of the concept of word (Chaturmukha Brahma- representing 4 states of word )

 

Language & concept producing wisdom in Taurus

•       Word has concept & language

•       Concept is Masculine and Language is Feminine.

•        Sun during spring in Taurus is called bull which imports the word and Moon in Taurus is called the cow which absorbs the word.

Language & Concept together creates Wisdom which is Mercury called calf in Taurus

 

Voice -- Fourth stage of utterance

•       Taurus rules the voice as Gemini rules the vocal chords

•       The vibration of vocal chords produces the sound  trill “R” which is the origin of the sound of the language

•       The sound  manifests thought in the expressed word

•       Hence called the “Rishabha” the great bull in the Vedas. In rig Veda Rishabha is addressed as “O lord of speech, humble  their speech“                         ( Rig Veda X 166 )

 

Levels of Saadhak

•       The  True saadhak at Gemini -Taurus levels  creates through his word and sound

•       The saadhak  who dwells in Pisces-Taurus levels creates through silence

•       The Gemini -Taurus level persons are builders of the higher  universes

•       The Pisces – Taurus level persons are Master builders / Master makers.

 

Taurus and self expression

•       For people at mundane level the self expression is at lower planes of Instincts impulses and emotions

•       The real word is pulled down from mechanical vocal word and is buried deep down in matter

•       Procreation capacity reflects the higher creative potentiality

•       This difference is signified by Scorpio which is the opposite or lower counter part of Taurus.

Examples

•       Observe a person  using foul language  ---Words  tagged with impulsive emotion or instinct buried deep down in the matter of dark waters of Scorpio are pulled out.

•       Sublimation of impulses emotions  & instincts into creative pursuits reveals connection & elevation from Scorpio energy to Taurus Energy.
