This is a graphic representation of the signature. It
means “The Bird of Peace Descending upon Earth”. It has its wings tilted
towards the earth. It is coming down to the earth. You see the angle of its
wings and how it is descending towards the earth? It is to bring Peace. It is
the messenger of Peace. The Bird of Peace Descending upon Earth. You see?...
Now I will explain to you how this bird corresponds to
the signature. Look, first, this is the tail of the bird. Here are the two tips
of the tail, and I extend it as the wing which is seen like a curved line. You
have seen the tails of birds, they are like this… So, with these two tips of
the tail and one wing, it is one part of the bird. And this is the other wing.
They are large wings. And these are the eyes which are represented here by
these two points. And here is the head.
One sees the bird appearing from far, that is
why one sees only the eyes that shine and not all the details of the figure. It
has very large wings and it is inclined like this to one side, that is why its
body is hidden. Once does not see its body, it is hidden behind its large wing.
And from far one sees only its two eyes and the beak and all that. Because it
is only the eyes that shine: the eyes reflect the soul. They are important, the
eye. So it is like this: the tail joins with one wing and this is the other
wing, and these two points are the eye.
This is the symbolic representation of the
Bird of Peace Descending upon Earth. Instead of drawing the whole bird each
time, I have made a symbolic drawing which represents the bird. You can see
clearly this is the bird in flight which is descending towards the earth. It is
still far, but one day it will alight upon the earth. Then there will be Peace.
This, then, is the significance of my signature. It comes from another world to
bring Peace down here.
