Intention, Attention and Manifestation
 |
This physical world, of what we see, is ruled by a subtle world.
A very simple explanation is karma and we leave it at that. Sometimes we accept it and move further, but it is not just karma. Yes, that could be one explanation, but if you go subtler you will know that everything that happens here is from some other field of energy, some other field of existence and consciousness. And in that consciousness is where the intention is, which brings manifestation here. To put attention there we need to put our attention inward.
Agni is the connection. Agni is not just fire, it is the fire in you, the consciousness in you which is so alive. It is that fire in you which burns the past, which burns all that rubbish that we collect due to the actions of the past.
It is said, 'Agni mukha vai devaha', all the Devas (Gods) can be approached only through fire. In a gross way it is shown as, only when the offerings are put into the fire it reaches God. It is not like that. Knowledge is the fire. The inner fire connects you from this world to the subtle world, from which this whole manifestation is happening.
