THE TWO FORMS OF SOLAR WISDOM

The twelvefold wisdom regarding the sun has both a higher and lower form. The higher wisdom pertains to the twelve adityas above, which constitute the sonic soul of the sun, while the lower wisdom pertains to their twelve shaktis below, which constitute collectively the luminous soul of the sun.

From a practical point of view, these two forms of solar wisdom were used to determine the virtual influences coming from the sun. The nonlocal sonic influences emanating from the sun were conceived in terms of the twelve adityas above, and the local luminous influences were conceived in terms of their twelve shaktis below.

These may also be viewed as inner and outer wisdoms, respectively. The inner wisdom is related to the inner circle of the sun, which has twelve divisions related to the twelve adityas, and the outer wisdom relates to the outer circle of the zodiac, which has twelve divisions related to the twelve shaktis.
