The storm represents an unresolved problem whose affect is that of massive internal turbulence interpreted as the various degrees of unhappiness, suffering, and so on. The ring around the eye of the storm represents the problem solution, i.e. the sanctuary as certain fact (or primary knowledge, Pali: samma-sambodhi). Inside the sanctuary is the Sanctum, i.e. Nirvana, that is to say, momentary (also relative) rest. Outside the storm is rest prior to time (hence to relativity), i.e. ‘waiting’.
