Vénus déesse de l'amour symbolisme de la Vierge Marie,
We have already spoken of the Creative symbolism surrounding Venus Goddess of love and its relation to the symbolism of Our Lady Mary, whose Image is also closely related to that of the Primordial Creatrix. We have noted that the Orphics saw Venus/Aphrodite not as a goddess who rules over carnal love but rather as the cosmogonic goddess who gives the irresistible urge to the Aethyr to create forms out of the substance of the Earth.
This is fundamental to the metaphysical unde...rstanding of being: all things are a marriage of form (or Essence) and substance. While substance is the underlying "stuff" of being, the Essences, or Archetypes are what give it the shape of all the "ten thousand things" that constitute a universe.
But why does this process take place at all? The Vedic tradition explains creation as ultimately the "play" (lila) of God, which is why our Mother God is known as Lalita: She Who plays.
However, this can still leave the question "why does She play"?
While accepting that ultimately, from our human standpoint, this question is unanswerable, the traditionalist philosopher Martin Lings has suggested that in this one respect Sufism comes a stage nearer to an answer than the Vedic tradition itself, with the formulation attributed to God:
"I was a Hidden Treasure and desired to be known. Therefore I created a Creation that I might be known."
The word for "known" here literally means "loved" (itself an interesting reflection on the interplay and occasional ambiguity between Sai Mati and Sai Sushuri: the Principles of Knowledge and Love respectively).
Thus, at least on the level of a certain bhaktic understanding, the Divine Creative urge lies in the most fundamental love-desire.
It is interesting also that this revelation is associated with Rumi, who also wrote: Woman is the radiance of God, she is not your beloved. She is the Creator - you could say that she is not created.
