The Lamp outside corresponds to the Lamp within. ' Integrate the Fire outside with the Fire within " this is the basic principle of Tantra. ( Jnanagnim Bahyavagnim cha Ekkekritya Prapoojayeth ). Man is Microcosm, in which he copies the structure of the great Universe.
All external symbols correspond to the inner world in Tanra. With the use of external symbols, the Relative World is transcended.
The Sun is the symbol of the Absolute Self and Moon, the Mind. In Tantric Literature, you will find a lot of reference to the worlds of the Sun and the Moon. Know then that they are symbolic and represents the Male and Female components of the Ulitmate, Self & Mind !
