(''a.'') The Mother of Mercy and Knowledge is called “ the triple ” of Kwan-Shai-Yin because in her correlations, metaphysical and cosmical, she is the “ Mother, the Wife and the Daughter ” of the ''Logos'', just as in the later theological translations she became “ the Father, Son and (the female) Holy Ghost ” — the ''Sakti ''or Energy — the Essence of the three. Thus in the Esotericism of the Vedantins, ''Daiviprakriti'', the Light manifested through Eswara, the ''Logos'', † is at one and the same time the Mother and also the Daughter of the Logos or Verbum of Parabrahmam ; while in that of the trans-Himalayan teachings it is — in the hierarchy of allegorical and metaphysical theogony — “ the Mother ” or abstract, ideal matter, Mulaprakriti, the Root of Nature ; — from the metaphysical standpoint, a correlation of Adi-Bhûta, | (''a.'')

(''b'') ''Kwan-Yin-Tien ''means the “ melodious heaven of Sound,” the abode of Kwan-Yin, or the “ ''Divine Voice ”'' literally. This “ Voice ” is a synonym of the ''Verbum ''or the Word : “ Speech,” as the expression of thought. Thus may be traced the connection with, and even the origin of the Hebrew ''Bath-Kol'', the “ daughter of the Divine Voice,” or ''Verbum'', or the male and female Logos, the “ Heavenly Man ” or Adam Kadmon, who is at the same time Sephira. The latter was surely anticipated by the Hindu Vâch, the goddess of Speech, or of the Word. For Vâch — the daughter and the female portion, as is stated, of Brahmâ, one “ generated by the gods ” — is, in company with Kwan-Yin, with Isis (also the ''daughter'', wife and ''sister ''of Osiris) and other goddesses, the female ''Logos'', so to speak, the goddess of the ''active ''forces in Nature, the Word, Voice or Sound, and Speech. If Kwan-Yin is the “ melodious Voice,” so is Vâch ; “ the melodious cow who milked forth sustenance and water ” (the female principle) — “ who yields us nourish- ment and sustenance,” as Mother-Nature. She is associated in the work of creation with the Prajâpati. She is male and female ''ad libitum'', as Eve is with Adam. And she is a form of Aditi — the principle higher than ''Ether'' — in Akâsa, the synthesis of all the forces in Nature ; thus Vâch and Kwan-Yin are both the magic potency of Occult sound in Nature and Ether — which “ Voice ” calls forth Sien-Tchan, the illusive form of the Universe out of Chaos and the Seven Elements. | (''b'') ''Kwan-Yin-Tien ''means the “ melodious heaven of Sound,” the abode of Kwan-Yin, or the “ ''Divine Voice ”'' literally.

Thus in Manu Brahmâ (the ''Logos ''also) is shown dividing his body into two parts, male and female, and creating in the latter, who is Vâch, Viraj, who is himself, or Brahmâ again — it is in this way a learned Vedantin Occultist speaks of that “ goddess,” explaining the reason why Eswara (or Brahmâ) is called ''Verbum ''or ''Logos | Thus in Manu Brahmâ (the ''Logos ''also) is shown dividing his body into two parts, male and female, and creating in the latter, who is Vâch, Viraj, who is himself, or Brahmâ again — it is in this way a learned Vedantin Occultist speaks of that “ goddess,” explaining the reason why Eswara (or Brahmâ) is called ''Verbum'' or ''Logos'' why in fact it is called Sabda Brahmam : — | ||
