The sun is the symbol of the concentrated light of Truth.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/visions-and-symbols-v#p15</ref>
The sun in the Yoga is the symbol of the supermind and the supermind is the first power of the Supreme which one meets across the border where the experience of spiritualised mind ceases and the unmodified divine Consciousness begins the domain of the supreme nature, '''parā prakṛti.''' . <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/35/passages-from-the-yoga-and-its-objects#p6</ref>

==Supramental==
Supramental is simply the direct selfexistent self-existent Truth-Consciousness and the direct self-effective Truth- Power. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-supermind-or-supramental#p44</ref>
The supramental is the Truth-Consciousness and what it brings ill in its descent is the full truth of life, the full truth of consciousness in Matter. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/bhakti-yoga-and-vaishnavism#p37</ref>
The Truth-Consciousness whether above or in the universe by which the Divine knows not only his own essence and being but his manifestation also. The fundamental character is knowledge by identity, by that the Self is known, the Divine Sachchidananda is known, but also the truth of manifestation is known because this too is That. Mind is an instrument of the Ignorance trying to know - Supermind is the Knower possessing Knowledge, because one with it and the known, therefore seeing all things in the light of His own Truth, the light of their true self which is He. It is a dynamic and not only a static Power, not only a Knowledge, but a Will according to Knowledge - there is a Supramental Power or Shakti which can manifest direct its world of Light and Truth in which all is luminously based on the harmony and unity of the One, not disturbed by a veil of Ignorance or any disguise. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-supermind-or-supramental#p18</ref>
==Symbol==
A symbol is the form of one plane that represents a truth of another. Generally all forms are symbols. Everything is a symbol of some higher reality. There are different kinds of symbols : (1) Conventional symbols, e.g. Vedic cow for light. (2) Life-symbols such as derive naturally from our day-to-day life. e.g. mountain, a symbol of path of yoga, level above level, peak upon peak. (3) Symbols that have an inherent apposition and form of their own, e.g. ākāśa or etheric space, a symbol of the infinite all-pervading eternal Brahman. (4) Mental symbols, e.g. numbers or alphabets. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/visions-and-symbols-v#p1,p2,p3,p4,p5</ref>
