The Twenty-Fifth Hymn to Agni
A HYMN TO THE LORD OF LIGHT
AND CREATOR OF GODHEAD
[The Rishi hymns Agni as the Seer-Will whose whole being is
the light and the truth and the lavishing of the substance of
divinity. He is the son born to the thought of the seers and he
gives himself as the godhead born in man who is the son of our
works opulent with the divine Truth and the divine Power and
as the conquering steed of the journey and the battle. The whole
movement of the Seer-Will is upward to the light and vastness of
the superconscient; his voice is as if the thunder-chant of those
heavens. He shall carry us by his perfect working beyond the
siege of darkness and limitation.]

1. Raise thy song towards the Will, towards the divine for thy
increasing, for he is our lord of substance and he lavishes;
he is the son of the seekers of knowledge; he is the keeper of
the Truth who ferries us beyond the surge of our destroyers.

2. This is the true in his being whom the seers of old kindled,
yea, the gods too kindled him with perfect outshinings into
his wide substance of the light, the priest of the oblation
with his tongue of ecstasy.
