The scarecrow a silent and ever-vigilant guardian wards off all attempts to define it by landing concepts in Its immaculate, ineffable purity.

Drawing its life from mud and water, the lotus blooms untouched by both.
It represents the flowering of objective, phenomenal appearance which is ultimately identical with the pure Subjectivity from which it comes.

The full moon's witnessing serenity symbolizes the one pure Subject, impartially illuminating and permeating all phenomenal appearances.
In Its rays, the duality behind all conflicts and differences is dissolved;
they are shown to be nothing but Its own expressions, and are therefore not other than It.

The moon's cool light thus evokes the peace, fulfillment and contentment of enlightenment
the simple realization of one's own.
