Soma, the wine of the world-delight, rushing through the mind
which is its “luminous wide-extended” strainer of purification,
cleansed there by the ten sisters, pours forth giving birth to the
gods.
But the nature of these inner powers is always divine and
therefore their tendency is upward to Light and immortality
and infinity. They are “the Sons of the Infinite, one in their will

“Of a double birth they are true in their being and lay hold on
the Truth, very vast and one in the Light and are possessed of
its luminous world.”
In this upward movement they cleave away from us the
evil and the ignorance. These are they who “cross beyond into
the sinlessness and the undivided existence”. Therefore they are
“the gods who deliver”. For the enemy, the assailant, the doer of
