🌻. Narada 🌻

In the east, Mercury is also called Narada, the son born on the mental plane of Brahma, the creator, and Saraswathi, the Divine Word of wisdom. He always carries a Veena in his hand, a seven-stringed instrument symbolising the seven planes of creation which the sound penetrates. Narada passes the Word from the higher circles to the lower ones. Narada is also called the bringer of conflict, for on the lower planes he causes controversies and problems. On the higher ones he confers discrimination and an impersonal way of handling opposites and thus approaching unity in diversity.

In another aspect the Sanskrit name for Mercury is “Budha”. The one who is capable of receiving the energies from higher circles and transmitting them to the lower planes is a Buddha. Gautama Buddha has assumed the work relating to Mercury; he stays upon the planet to uplift people. The posture in which Buddha is depicted spreads silence. When we look at a statue of Buddha or meditate on it, we involuntarily become quiet. He spreads silence, and from out of silence we can experience better right speech.

The transmission of the word happens through the throat centre ruled by Mercury, which is related to the alchemy of transformation. The entire spiritual path is a work with the throat centre where the energies of the three lower centres are uplifted through right thought and speech to the three higher ones. In alchemy quicksilver, the metal of Mercury, is the chief implement of transformation. The principle of Sun we find in sulphur and the principle of earth, of the physical manifestation, in salt. When the mercury of our mind is stabilised through the use of sacred sounds and with the filter of discrimination by the elimination of unnecessary words, our speech transforms into gold. Gold is the metal of the buddhic plane. Through the purified throat centre a magnetic radiance develops which encourages, heals and spreads blessing.
