Rişhi: Ghŗtsamada  (RV 2.3.5)

vi shrayantām-urviyā hūyamānā dvāro devīĥ suprāyaņā namobhiĥ,

May the divine Doors swing open, wide to our call, easy of approach, with our prostration's of surrender.

When in the journey of the Spirit, the seeker arrives at the farthest limits of human consciousness, he is faced with a barrier that stands between the human and the Divine, the lower and the upper realms of Existence. No human effort by itself can break this barrier, open the Doors that stay closed and bar the entry. The seeker has to appeal to the Grace, surrender himself entirely and affirm his surrender constantly; and it is only when the Grace responds that the opening is made, the Divine Doors swing wide allowing him to cross into the kingdom of Light.
