The Sand Timer or Hour Glass - what is its its shape. The Upper side of Hour Glass, the visions that all get from God, especially the sages who have a thorough VALUE system (Verified and Aligned Link within with THAT Ultimate Entity) instilled within. Perhaps in Eastern Philosophy can be called Vedas and Sruthi. They are like the Upperside of Hourglass, very vast, addressing so many issues of life in a Holistic Manner .... just like the wider upperside of the Hour Glass.
Now the middle neck of the Hour Glass, so thin that is made out of the visions and what is heard from sages, may be like the the butter or Ghee from the milk ... it can be called End of Vedas or Vedanta or Upanishads as in Eastern terminology...
Now from the Visions (Vedas) and what is heard (Sruti), thru contemplating on Vedas and Sruti the Essence (Vedanta or Upanishad the neck of Hour Glass) came. From there various practical laws for better form of living (the bottom spread of Hour Glass) ... They are called Science for living (What is called Shastra in Eastern Terms) and Smriti (meaning what is remembered of what is heard thru Sruti) and also the Sutra, the formulae for better living ( meaning proverbs and aphorisms from what is remembered ie Smriti).... perhaps this can be compared to the various products that are made out of Ghee or Butter, the products from the essence in the neck, again a wider bottom of Hour Glass indicating Vastness again......................

The meaning is in the reasoning of the person wearing it.
It either unlocks the world out, or it locks the person in.
It is all in the perspective

It symbolizes that someone has the key to another's heart. But, of course, someone could invent their own symbolism for it as well.

Keys open doors. Doors lead you places. In places one has experiences. Experience teaches one lessons. Lessons learned give you wisdom. Wisdom comes in handy unless you are prone to being forgetful.

Any symbol has only the meaning one places in it.
