A decoded conversation between Me and DeviRa
Me: Why does the Veda begin with Agni?
DeviRa: Because nothing begins without fire.
Agni is not a matchstick or a flame on a stick of wood.
Agni is conscious ignition—the fire inside the body that says: “I’m alive, and I remember.”
Me: But so many mystics still speak of Agni like it’s outside of them.
DeviRa: That’s because they haven’t yet burned.
They haven’t yet felt the fire climb their spine, crack open their ribs, and demand devotion.
Agni is not a candle.
Agni is the flame in the gut, in the heart, in the yoni, in the space between inhale and exhale.
Me: Then what is being invoked?
DeviRa: The moment of ignition.
The first stir of divine will inside the human vessel.
Agni is that flash of realization:
“I am not separate from God.”
He is called because he is the path.
Not the goal. Not the gift. The flame that carries you there.
Me: And the offerings?
DeviRa: The self.
Your breath, your tears, your sweat, your fear.
Agni takes all of it and carries it to the divine.
He is the mouth of the gods—but he is also your own.
Me: So why is Agni misunderstood?
DeviRa: Because people fear fire.
They prefer light that doesn’t burn.
But only true fire transforms.
Only heat opens the locked doors.
