The symbolism of Hindu God Agni is that of both the individual will(of the embodied soul/created being)to connect to God and will of God(Creator) Himself.


Basically the will to connect to God is what closes the gap between us and God, that is to say a feeling of separateness.(which is why Hindus bring a plate of fire/Agni between them and the idols of the "Gods")

Which(feeling of separateness between you and God) can be remedied through intense, passionate and pious, extensively long periods of worship throughout your life.

You must have the desire to seek out God and the insistence to attain Him. This is crucial.

The will to connect to God is the yearning and longing of the soul to connect to God, and is what draws us closer to God and enable us to come into contact with God, it is what makes us realize God and prayers successful along with devotion(pressing of the Soma). It is the indispensable quality of the soul that is first and foremost necessary to even truly worship God and is present in all types of prayer without which there is no attainment of God by the soul. The intensity of which results in the degree of closeness in attaining God. True connection stems from even the slightest desire to sincerely turn to God. No prayer is ever wasted. As every prayer is dear to God.


The strong magnetic pull towards God of the soul is the hottest, brightest, fiercest Agni/flame. The most committed of worshippers, who always want to be in tune with God from the moment they sleep to the moment they rise.

The individual will is an expression of the soul, which is what allows the soul to perform activities. And the ability to connect to God depends upon the strength of the soul in striving to link itself to God.

The entire universe is the will of God expressed/manifest. So when the individual will connects to God wanting God to reveal Himself(and God acts according to His Will obviously) through his worship of Him. It as if there is unity between the individual will and Divine will.

Fire/Agni symbolizes "will" and "willpower".

The Self is always the Self, you(the Soul) will never lose your Self, in the midst of all activities you ARE, feel your Soul shine forth, brimming with It's Selfness, you are Pure Being beyond all conception. You being trapped in this world is a mere appearance, owing to the illusory power of God.

Material things takes your Soul away from subsisting within the core of your Being. You, your very Self is the basis, of pain and pleasure, thought and action. But you are beyond them all, you are the substratum of all these things.

From a yogic perspective, desires are owing to the weakness of the embodied Soul being subject to the "bewildering powers" of the material things around them in which the Soul seeks to come into contact with and relish in the objects and feels a loss when these objects are removed. One should overcome this by practicing Asceticism and dwell only in the Self.

The potency of Selfhood is to remain Steadfast in the Self amidst all activities and worldly experiences without being tainted by them.

Your affectedness to material things depends on your vulnerability to them.

It takes great Yogic power for me to live in Singapore surrounded by materialism and be carefree of it all. I take it as the power of my Soul. I have my Self, I don't need anything else.

I want to go live in the forest. 😔😢
