Rişhi: Ātreya  (RV 5.4.6)

vadhena dasyum pra hi chātayasva vayaĥ kŗņvānas-tanve svāyai,

Chase the Divider from us with thy blow, make a free space for thine own body.

The Divine Plane in man is enclosed and shut up in the smoke of the all-too human movements of desire and passion. There are, besides, the limiting walls of the ego that prevent the awareness of the divinity within and the presence of the Divine around. Unless this separative and narrowing action of the Force of Ego and Falsehood is broken up and cleared, the divine consciousness and will cannot spread and organize themselves in man. Agni, the flaming Divine Will, is invoked to effect this clearance and then extend his own workings in the seeker.
