Thought
What if the world were holy fire
With sun as fuel and rays as smoke
Day is flame and moon the coals
Stars the sparks that fill the holes
Deities’ offering faith gives boon
From whence arises ruling moon
What if rain itself were holy fire
Air as fuel and cloud as smoke
Flash is flame and coals thunder
Rumblings send sparks asunder
Pouring the Soma moon in this
Gives rise to rain that nourishes
What if the earth were holy fire
Year as fuel and space as smoke
Night as flame and quarters coals
Sparks in between direction holds
In fire offered rain oblations pour
To grateful soil for food and more
What if the world were holy fire
And more analogies to unfold
We would discover how the soul
Continues journey to its goal
With inflated ego our offering
Future will good fortune bring
Prayer
O Lord when I see the universe as Your sacrificial fire and how You offer Your own self, it inspires me to be Your sacrificial fire for the welfare of all. Please wash out my mean selfishness and replace it with pure love.
