person, those wild animals are depicted that are typical for those places; in other words,
they are clear examples for those peoples and vividly represent the four Aspects. And
under the "throne" with typical hooves, you can see domesticated animals - goats. In
ancient India, the goat was a symbol of fertility, vitality, a guarantee of sustenance
(meat, wool and milk). The sacred Vedas mention that some Vedic gods ride on this
animal, for example, Agni - the god of fire, sacrificial fire and home fire. But all that
was much later than the existence of the culture of the Harappan civilization. Given the
spiritual symbolism depicted in the seal as well as the location of the goats under the
"throne with hooves" on which the man sits, all this symbolizes that the meditating
person is above the household, earthly attachments and that his spiritual concern
dominates over his worries of the material world.
Rigden: Quite right. All these animals are mere associations, which could be understood
by the thinking of people of that time and which characterize peculiarities of the spiritual
knowledge, meditations, and a view of the world that is different from the threedimensional
world. Nothing more than that. But people are prone to imitate. In the
absence of the original Knowledge, experience and results in the spiritual practices or
simply by misunderstanding them, they begin to perceive associations from the spiritual
teachings for the material reality. Furthermore, people make these associative images
"sacred" from their material perspective and begin to worship them in the material world
thinking that this way they will achieve enlightenment and get the "grace of heaven".
That is why history knows of incidents when the Knowledge was distorted and
interpreted from the perspective of the human mind: if the spiritual teachings pointed
that "to be a part of the divine, it is necessary to kill the beast inside you", ignorant
people took these words literally. As a result, that is how bloody sacrifices of animals
and people appeared in the history of mankind, just because of the wrong or deliberately
distorted interpretations of the remainder of the bygone Knowledge by those who
controlled the religious policies or influenced the formation of beliefs of this or that
people. Today, religions together with their sacrifices look somewhat primitive in the
eyes of people of the technological civilization. Because sustenance and the survival of
the human society as a whole does not depend on their political plurality and the show
and worship to different gods. Now, the material "god" of most living people is money
as the goat used to be in the family. But some time will pass, and the material priorities
will change again, although they will not stop being material because of that... Look at
what kind of associations must be used today to renew the lost spiritual Truth --
comparisons with generally comprehensible scientific information, associations with the
