(RV
5.1.4)
yadīm suvāte uşhasā virūpe
shveto vājī jāyate agne ahnām
When two Dawns of opposite forms are delivered of him, he is born
as the White Steed in front of the days.
From the state of Ignorance that is the first Dawn, Agni, the
flaming Will of aspiration upwards, is born. He receives
nourishment and strength from the state of luminous knowledge that
dawns on the seeker in response to his call. Agni emerges as the
pure Energy leading the days towards the supreme Goal of Truth in
Beatitude. In Veda, white steed symbolizes the Pure Energy.
Agni derives from both the lower and the higher levels of
existence, experience from below, enlightenment from above.
