Q&A with Swamiji .....267...More on puirfying the fire

[Guest guest]

Question from Chris:

I recognize there is a difference between "the world's"

fire and divine fire. Divine fire is "awakened," while the world's

fire is not (I have this right, don't I?). Of course this brings up

the question of "the fire of prana," a more subtle (and conscious?)

manifestation of the same principle. Well, one thing at a time, I

guess.

 

So, then, is this process of purification (the focusing of our

intentions to use the fire as a means of purification), then a part

of this awakening process, part of the establishment of divine

consciousness into the body of fire?

 

Swamiji's response:

Yes, the invocation of the Divine Fire purifies it with our

intention to use it as a tool of spiritual purification, as

contrasted with turning on a stove to cook the food.
