        The Fire of purification



        James Anderson


        Abstract
        One must be conscious of the Fire within if one wants to progress. This flame should always
        be nurtured and it is up to us to each one of us to tend to it. The Fire purifies the being and
        unifies our will. It is the seat of all aspiration.  When we offer everything to the inner Fire
        throughout the day, it will take us to the threshold of transformation.



        “A fire is burning there, in the deep quietude of the heart. It is the divinity in you – your true being.
        Hear its voice, follow its dictates (1).”




                                                 and without this purification, we lead a very
                                                 murky, insubstantial existence. It is what
                                                 brings harmony to the discord inside. The
                                                 instruments with which our soul co-habits
                                                 have to be cleansed so it is very necessary
                                                 to our well-being.

                                                 This Fire is the embodiment of our aspiration.
                                                 Deep within the heart there is a fire that
                                                 burns. It has been lit by the Mother and it
                                                 is up to us to tend to it at all times. In some
                                                 of us it might bring the merest flicker. It is
                                                 a spiritual death whenever it goes out. We
        No one can walk the path of Integral Yoga  have to be awake to nurture it and once we
        without repeatedly immersing the being in  experience its presence, it becomes more
        the Fire of purification. It is our own essence  and more a dynamic part of our being. It is
        and very necessary to our wholeness as well as  an experience which has to be lived. Once
        our spiritual progress.  Without this presence  experienced, it must be reinforced by practice.
