Most of the ancient teachers taught while sitting down with their disciples gathered about them.
These postures are symbolical of inner conditions of consciousness; the position of the body is irrelevant, but the mental discipline of each posture is important.
To “seat” oneself is to rest firmly in the Law.
This taking refuge in the law signifies that the disciple has completed his searching. He no longer travels from sage to sage begging wisdom.
He neither questions nor doubts the integrity of the doctrines he has followed; he is certain as to the essential principles of his philosophy. This conviction, this final acceptance of Truth as Reality, is called “Establishment In The Law." — Manly P. Hall
