(RV 6.16.47)
ā te
agna ŗchā havir-hrdā
taşhţam bharāmasi,
We bring to thee by the illumining word an
offering that is shaped by the heart, O Fire
Consecration, offering of oneself in all movements of the being,
is a capital way of fruitful approach to the Divine. To have an
intention in the mind to offer, even a mental conviction of its
necessity, is not enough. One has to work out the intention in the
consciousness, dig it deep in the heart and from there orientate
and shape one’s life-movements in that direction. After organizing
the consecration in the being in this manner, it is to be given a
clear, dynamic expression in life. For this expression confirms
the consecration and makes it a force—not only in one’s own
existence but in that of others as well.
