<strong>The</strong> Twenty-Second Hymn to Agni<br />

A HYMN OF THE JOURNEY TO THE PERFECT JOY<br />

[Man, the eater of things, seeks a fulfilment of his desires in a<br />

final equality of delight. To this end he has to be purified by the<br />

divine Flame, the Seer-Will who holds in himself the conscious<br />

vision and the utter rapture. By increasing him in us we shall<br />

journey forward with our progressing sacrifice and the gods will<br />

utterly manifest themselves. We must entertain this divine Force<br />

as the master of our house, our physical and mental body, and<br />

give it all the objects of our enjoyment as its food.]<br />

1. Man who seekest thy equal fulfilment in all, sing as the<br />

enjoyer of things the word of illumination to him of the<br />

bright purifying flame, to the object of our adoration in the<br />

march of our sacrifices, to the priest of the offering most<br />

rapturous in the creature.<br />

2. Set within thee Will that knows all the births, the divine<br />

sacrificer in the seasons; today let thy sacrifice march forward<br />

unceasingly, thy sacrifice shall open to thee the whole<br />

epiphany of the godheads.<br />
