By lighting the lamp in a temple we are praying for our paths to be illumined and our positive desires to come to fruition. The light outside in the form of the sun instigates healthy growth and change in all of creation. The light inside in the form of atma or soul promotes positive spiritual growth leading towards happiness and self realization. Fire transforms the material into spiritual and allows our prayers and positive intentions to enter the realms of the heavens. Agni or fire is one of the physical elements that have an unlimited energetic potential. Therefore, it is used as a symbol of the highest good or God that is the unlimited source of energy and benevolence for the entire humanity and world at large. Fire is the power that manifests as intelligence and discrimination in the mind. It allows us to clearly see the difference between what is good or what will draw us closer to our spiritual ideals and what is bad or that which obscures the mind with inertia and negativity.
Lead us from the unreal to the real
Lead us from Darkness to light
Lead us from mortality to immortality
