Question: What does gold light symbolise?

Sri Chinmoy: Gold has two meanings. In the highest plane it means manifestation of the Highest. But when the gold touches the earth consciousness, the colour changes; it does not remain pure gold. Then we call it half manifestation. In the transcendental Height it is pure manifestation of the spirit, but when it touches the earth, it is half manifestation. Usually we do not see gold here as I have seen it. When I ask the disciples to bring me gold to paint with here in America, it is not real gold. Your gold colour is different from the gold colour I see in India or in the inner world. If it is real gold colour, it is divine manifestation.
