\nTHE GIVERS OF SELF-RULE <\/b>
\n\t\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Rishi invokes Varuna, the vast form of the Truth, and Mitra the beloved, godhead of its harmonies and large bliss,
\nwho conquer for us the perfect force of our true and infinite being, to change our imperfect human nature into the image of
\ntheir divine workings. Then the solar Heaven of the Truth is manifested within us, its wide pasture of herding illuminations
\nbecomes the field of journeying of our chariots, the high thoughts of the seers, their purified discernment, their rapid inspirations
\nbecome ours, our very earth becomes the world of that vast Truth. For then there is the perfect movement, the transcendence
\nof this darkness of sin and suffering. We arrive at self-empire, a rich, full and vast possession of our infinite being.]

\n1. O mortal who awakenest to knowledge, call to thee the two godheads who are perfect in will and destroyers of thy
\nenemy. Direct your thoughts to Varuna of whom Truth is the form and to the great Delight.1<\/font><\/sup>

\n1 The satisfaction given by Mitra, founding the large bliss of the Truth-plane. Varuna
\nof the infinities gives the wide form, Mitra of the harmonies the perfect joy of the energies of the Truth, its complete mightiness.

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

\n2. For it is they who attain to the undistorted force and the entire mightiness. Then shall thy humanity become as if the
\nworkings of these gods; it is as if the visible heaven of light2 were founded in thee.

\n3. Therefore you, O gods, I desire, —for the rushing of these chariots your wide pasture of the herds. Forcefully by our
\nhymns our minds seize on his perfect affirmation when the god receives our bounteous offerings.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n4. Then indeed, O transcendent godheads, you conquer the seer-wisdoms by the full floodings of the illumined discernment; you perceive knowledge for these human creatures by a perception in which the judgment is purified.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n

<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n5. O wide Earth, that Vast, that Truth for the movement of inspired knowledge of the sages! Widely the Twain speed
\nwith full capacity, our chariots pass streaming beyond3 in their travellings.

\n2 Or Swar of the vision, the world of light where is the full vision of the Truth.

\n
\n3 Beyond the darkness and the enemies, the suffering and evil of the lower existence.

\n6. When, O Mitra, you have your far-voyaging vision and we are the illumined seers, may we arrive in the effort of
\nour journey to a self-empire4<\/font><\/sup> spread out widely open and governing its multitudes.
\n\t\t\t<\/span> <\/p>\n

\n 4 Swarajya. Swarajya and Samrajya, perfect empire within and without, rule of our
\ninner being and mastery of our environment and circumstances, was the ideal of the Vedic sages, attainable only by ascending beyond our mortal mentality to the luminous
\nTruth of our being, the supramental infinities on the spiritual plane of our existence.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
