Diagram C.    

The diagram helps us to concretise or to materialise what might otherwise appear elusive since the subject it treats is so foreign to our 21st Century way of life. We may pay lip service to the Veda,
we
may chant the mantras and carry out the rituals, but unless the cogs and wheels are set properly in place, time is not the propeller of that Harmony and only cacophony can ensue. Then caste, for example, becomes the opposite of what it was in the Vedic Age. Instead of an enlightened and superior mode of societal order, it becomes the instigator of constant discord and strife. Yet none penetrate beneath those layers of soil that have closed out the true rhythms of life and they simply allow themselves to be carried away by political propaganda, be this of the left or the right, nothing of which addresses the real cause. It is that the right Time Key must be inserted into the chamber’s door so that then the Makar Sankranti can allow us access to that sacred space where the great secrets are held. The fourth quarter of the wheel/ecliptic, where the 9 becomes the 10th month/sign, is the lost Sun or Swar. This is the quarter that is withheld and which the Aryan Warrior is set upon retrieving. For the mortal human species the  ‘journey’ ends with death, unconscious, final, irrevocable. It is the 8th Book of Savitri; it is the 8th sign of the zodiac, Scorpio. But the student must ask why there are four more signs/months after the 8th, just a stage along the way? The journey does not end abruptly in this unconscious slumber to await another birth and then to somehow start again under the same condition of total unconsciousness. In addition, the four remaining stages/months are those considered the most dangerous because the Warrior must reverse the direction in the 9th, and in so doing bring the Solar World into his/her conscious experience of life. Time must be made whole. Its energy hoarded away in those layers of unconsciousness must be resurrected to become the new base of life.
         
Swar
is not any ‘heaven above’. Swar is simply the ‘lost Sun’ prisoner in the cave of the Hostiles, the sons and daughters of the Mother of Division, Diti. We enter those realms through ‘the months and the years’ – today as in Vedic times, just as the Vedic Rishis of old did. The time has come indeed to bring Swar upon Earth simply by accepting the measure of our world, the truth thereby ‘of all that moves and breathes’.

          There are no rewards or punishments, as we would conceive, being so heavily conditioned by the dualism of right and wrong. There is simply the act of choosing and the processes our choices set in motion. Indeed, we reap what we sow.
