ASS - HORSE
The ass is the symbol of the inertia and obstruction in the body. The horse is
the symbol of force or power. The tunnel of water must be the vital physical and the arch is a passage out, by which, if the ass can cross it
or rather be pulled across, then it becomes a horse. In other words, the inertia and obstruction in the physical
will be changed into Power and Force of Progress.
The psychic being emerges slowly in most men, even after taking up sadhana. There is so much in the mind and vital
that has to change and readjust itself before the psychic can be entirely free. One has to wait till the necessary
process has gone far enough before it can burst its agelong veil and come in front to control the nature. It is
true that nothing can give so much inner happiness and joy, though peace can come by the mental and vital liberation
or through the growth of a strong samata (equality) in the being.
