\nThe Third Hymn to Agni <\/font><\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\nTHE DIVINE FORCE,
\n<\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nCONQUEROR OF THE SUPREME GOOD <\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Divine Will-Force is that of which all the other godheads
\nare forms and he manifests all these powers of supreme Truth as he grows in us. Thus the supreme state of conscious being
\nis attained and by that our complex and manifold existence is maintained in the Light and the Joy. The Rishi prays that the
\nevil may not be allowed to express itself again in him, that the secret soul in us who is the Father of things but in us appears as
\nthe child of our works and our evolution, may open itself to the vast Truth-consciousness. The Divine Flame will destroy all the
\npowers of falsehood and evil who seek to make us stumble and would rob us of our heavenly treasure.]
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n1. Thou art he of the Wideness,1<\/font><\/sup> O Will, when thou art born; thou becomest the Lord of Love2<\/font><\/sup> when thou art entirely
\nkindled. In thee are all the gods, O son of Force; thou art the Power-in-Mind3<\/font><\/sup> for the mortal who gives the offering.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n1 Varuna, who represents the ethereal purity and oceanic wideness of the infinite
\nTruth.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n2
\nMitra, the all-embracing harmony of the Truth, the Friend of all beings, therefore the Lord of Love.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n3 Indra, Ruler of our being, Master of Swar which is the luminous world of the Divine
\nMind.   <\/font> <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPage – 401<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\t\t\t<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n2. O thou who possessest self-ordering Nature, thou becomest the might of the Aspirer4<\/font><\/sup> when thou bearest the secret Name
\nof the Virgins.5<\/font><\/sup> They brighten thee with the Light in her rays as Love6<\/font><\/sup> perfectly founded when thou makest of one mind
\nthe Lord and his Spouse7<\/font><\/sup> in their mansion.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n3. For the glory of thee, O Violent One, the Thought-Powers
\nmake to shine out by their pressure that which is thy rich and beautiful birth.8<\/font><\/sup> When that highest stride9<\/font><\/sup> of Vishnu
\nhas been established within, thou protectest by it the secret Name of the herds of the Radiance.10<\/font><\/sup>
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n4. By the glory of thee because thou hast right vision, O godhead, the gods holding all that multiple existence taste
\nimmortality and men take their seat in the Force that offers the oblation and, desiring, they distribute to the godheads
\nthe self-expression of the being.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n4
\nAryaman, the aspiring power and action of the Truth. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n5
\nProbably, the unripe Radiances that our aspiration has to prepare for their union with the higher power of the soul; Aryaman holds their secret sense, the Name or
\nNumen, which is manifested when aspiration arrives at the light of knowledge and Mitra harmonises soul and nature.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n6 Mitra.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n7 The Soul and Nature. The mansion is the human body.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n8 The supreme world of Light. Agni is said elsewhere to become in his being the highest
\nof the shining worlds. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n9
\nVishnu has three strides or movements, earth, heaven and the supreme world of which Light, Truth and the Sun are the foundation.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n10 The highest divine sense of the illuminations of Knowledge is found in the superconscient worlds of supreme Light.  
\n<\/font>
\n<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tPage – 402<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\t\t\t<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n5. There is none that precedeth thee as the priest of the oblation nor any mightier for sacrifice; O Flame, none is supreme over
\nthee in the things of the Wisdom, thou who possessest the self-ordering power of Nature. The creature of whom thou
\nbecomest the guest, O godhead, prevails by sacrifice over all that belong to the mortality.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n6. May we, O Flame, fostered by thee and awakened, seekers of the substance, prevail by the offering,
\n\t\t\t—we in the great
\nstruggle, we in the comings of knowledge in our days,11<\/font><\/sup> we by the felicity, O son of Force, overcome all that are mortal.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n7. The expresser of evil who seeks to bring sin and transgression into us, his own evil do thou return upon his head; slay,
\nO conscious knower, this hostile self-expression of him who oppresses us with the duality.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n8. Thee, O Godhead, in the dawning of this our Night the Ancients12<\/font><\/sup> made their messenger and through thee sacrificed
\nby their offerings because thou art the godhead that is being kindled by the mortal dwellers in this substance and thou movest to the meeting-place13<\/font><\/sup> of all felicities.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n  <\/p>\n

\n
\n 11
\nThe periods of Light visiting the soul. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n 12
\nThe ancient seers who discovered the secret wisdom. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n 13
\nThe supreme world of Truth and Bliss.   <\/font> <\/span> <\/p>\n

\t\t\t<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n9. Deliver the Father and in thy knowledge put away evil from him who is borne in us as thy son, O child of Force. When
\nwilt thou have that vision for us, O conscious Knower? when wilt thou, O Truth-conscious Will, impel us to the
\njourney?
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n10. Then indeed the Father adores and holds, O Dweller in the
\nsubstance, the vast Name14<\/font><\/sup> when thou makest him to accept and cleave to it. Will in us desires the bliss and, increasing,
\nwins it entirely by the force of the Godhead.15<\/font><\/sup>
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n11. Thou, O Will, O youngest vigour, carriest thy adorer beyond
\nall stumblings into grief and evil; for the creatures are seen of thee who would do hurt to us and are thieves in their
\nhearts, —they whose perceptions are void of the knowledge and therefore they have fallen into the crookedness.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n12. Lo, all these movements of our journeying have turned their faces towards thee, and for that evil in us, it is declared
\nto the Dweller in our being. O never can this Will in his increasing betray us to the hurter of our self-expression; he
\nwill not deliver us into the hands of our enemy!
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n14
\nThe world of Truth is also called the Wideness or the Vast or the Vast Truth.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n15
\nThe Deva, the supreme Deity, of whom all the gods are different Names and Powers.
