The Seventeenth Hymn to Agni
A HYMN OF ENLARGEMENT
AND ULTIMATE ASPIRATION
[A state arrives in which man goes beyond the mere subtlety and
fineness of the intelligence and reaches to a rich and manifold
largeness of soul. Even then though he has now the wide law
of his being which is our right foundation, he needs a force
greater than his to lead him; for largeness and multiplicity of
soul-force and knowledge are not enough, there must be the
divine truth in thought, word and act. For we have to attain
beyond the enlarged mental being to the beatitude of a state
beyond mind. Agni has the light and the force, the Word and
the true impulsion, the embracing knowledge and the achieving
power. He shall bring the divine wealth in his chariot and carry
us towards the blissful state and the supreme good.]

is greater than mine and it is righteous in its acts. Let the
man of multiple soul when he has made perfect his sacrifice,
adore the Will for his increasing.

to experience a full inner life and open himself to communication with all the planes of
his own and of the cosmic existence.
