(RV 6.16.13)

tvām-agne puşhkarād-adhy-atharvā niramanthata,mūrdhno vishvasya vāghataĥ.

O Fire, Atharwan churned thee out from the Lotus of the head of every chanting sage.

Of him who has found the word of Truth and who voices it in his speech, the highest centre in the head, i.e. Mind, is activated and opened to the workings of the Higher Consciousness. There gather all his articulate movements of thought and feeling, aspiration and enlightenment and from their stress is born Agni, the flaming Seer-Will who takes charge of the journey to the Divine Goal.
