\nThe Tenth Hymn to Agni <\/font><\/b>

\n
\nA HYMN OF THE SPLENDID SOULS WHO ATTAIN <\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Rishi prays to the divine Flame to work in him by the triple force of Power, Knowledge and Delight. He speaks of
\nthe splendid souls of knowledge in our humanity who attain to the Truth and Vastness; they are the burning and overpowering
\nflame-rays of this transcendent Conscious-Force of the Divine that is at work in us to climb to divine mastery. Some have
\nbecome such souls, others are still hampered but growing. He desires the increasing affirmation of Agni so that all may advance
\nto a rich and all-comprehending universality.]

\n <\/p>\n

\n1. O Flame, O Ray in our limited existence, bring for us an
\nillumination full of utter energy, by an all-encompassing felicity cleave forward our path towards the plenitude.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

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

\n <\/p>\n

\n2. O Flame, thou supreme and wonderful thing, it is thou who by force of will becomest in us the greatness of discerning
\npower; in thee the all-harmonising Friend1<\/font><\/sup> in the sacrifice accomplishes the work and climbs to divine mastery.2<\/font><\/sup>
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n1 Mitra, the Lord of Love, who introduces the principle of harmony into the workings
\nof the divine effort in us and thus combines all the lines of our advance, all the strands of our sacrifice until the work is accomplished in the supreme unity of Knowledge, Power
\nand Delight. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n2
\nAsuryam<\/i>, the god-power, the mastering force of the Lord, the divine “Asura” in us.

\n3. Thou, O Strength, increase the advancing3<\/font><\/sup> and the growth of these who are splendid souls of knowledge that by their
\naffirmations of thee attain to our fullnesses. <\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

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

\n <\/p>\n

\n4. These are they, O Strength, O Delight, who have a happy
\nrichness of the swift forces of life and turn to a happy light the words of the thought, souls puissant with hero
\npuissances, for whom even in heaven4<\/font><\/sup> is the Vastness; of itself its perfect working awakes to knowledge for these.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

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

\n <\/p>\n

\n5. These are thy flaming rays, O Strength, that go blazing violently and are like lightnings that run over all the quarters and are like a resonant chariot that speeds towards the plenitude.
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

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

\n <\/p>\n

\n6. Now, O Strength, alike may those that are beset and hampered attain to expansion and the soul’s riches and may these
\nour splendid souls of knowledge traverse all the regions5<\/font><\/sup> and beyond.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n3 Or attainment.
\n<\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n4 That is to say, on the heights of the pure mentality where it meets with and passes
\ninto the vastness of the superconscient. <\/font>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n5
\nThe regions of the heavens of the mental existence which have all to be embraced in our consciousness and overpassed.

\n <\/p>\n

\n7. O Strength, O Soul of Puissance, when thou art affirmed and in thy affirming, bring to us, O priest of the offering,
\nfelicity6<\/font><\/sup> of an all-pervading forcefulness for all that affirm thee and for thy affirmation again. March with us in our
\nbattles that we may grow.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\nThat richness and abundance in the soul full of divine possessions which is its spiritual prosperity or felicity, an image of the infinite store of the divine Bliss and by which it
\nadvances to an ever greater and more richly-equipped wideness of its being.
