Dear John


Nice, but which SUN?

Ours, as the Sun is the manifestation of the logos of our planet

>>The white cloth of matter represents purity in matter.<<

I have read that the Yogin inSamadhi "search for the track of the cow in the 
boundless snow of the Himalaya"
My dictionary of myths says that GOLD is the spiritual qualities of the buddhic plane. Divine Wisdom, spiritual truth. "And the higher state of consciousness was on the buddhic plane whereon wisdom and truth were clearly perceived"

COW is also a symbol of Wisdom on the functioning of the buddhic plance activities, that inner nature of the soul which feeds, as it were, on grass and the herb of the field, i.e. is nourished on the lower growths and affections, which it transmutes within itself into the higher emotions (milk and butter) the sustenance of the evolving soul.

SNOW is a symbol of truth latent or unexpressed. Truth (water) congealed. In this descent of the life-wave to the astral and physical globes, the upper globes become obscured to the lower consciousness, so that the truth of buddhi becomes latent (snow) as the lower globes are informed through evolution from below upwards.

WHITE OR WHITENESS is a symbol of perfect purity, the external nature as spotless as the internal.

PEAK OR HIGH MOUNTAIN is a symbol of a high pitch of aspiration to which the soul may attain.

So take your pick! They are pretty much all saying the same thing.
I tend to see it as buddha reaching enlightenment (gold) through purifying his external nature (his white cloak).

Cheers
