The Eighteenth Hymn to Agni
A HYMN OF THE LORDS OF THE PLENITUDE
[The Divine Will is invoked to complete the manifestation of
the divine powers after the second state of the soul when it has
passed beyond the mere physical being and is full of the perfect
energy of the vital plane; for the gods have given all the life’s
fifty steeds of swiftness, Agni is there as the light and flame of
its far-extended existence which has broken the limitations of
the material being and he is full of the joys of this new and
rich supra-physical life. Now the third state, the free mental
being, is to be perfected by a richly varied and luminous play
of thought and word ending in the manifestation of the highest
reach of the mental realms, the power of the supramental Light
in the mentality; there begins the manifestation of the intuitive
and inspired mind. Agni has to create that vastness and light
and divinity of the Truth-knowledge and so crown with it the
already attained free swiftness of force and wide range of life
and enjoyment proper to the perfected and god-filled vitality.]
