Savitri
A Legend and a Symbol

Chapter 87Objects · Wheel, Disc or Chakra

Book 5. Part Two: The Opening of the Inner Senses · Section Three: Symbols

The wheel is the sign of an action of Force (whatever force may be indicated by the nature of the symbol) and as it was surging upwards it must be the fire of aspiration rising from the vital (navel centre) to the Higher Consciousness above.

* A revolving disc means a force in action on the nature. The bindo’s light. White is the Mother’s. Perhaps here it is a combination.

* The [Sudarshan] Chakra symbolises the action of Sri Krishna’s force.

* The chakra is the energy at work and it brings the first opening of the consciousness in the gross physical plane, i.e. of the mental physical, psychic physical, vital physical and the material.

* Yes, the circular movement and the Chakra are always signs of energy in action, generally creative action.
