Fire – The Transformational Energy of Life
Pitta is illuminating in nature and moves in an upward direction. Even though Vata, or Air, is also light and mobile, it moves haphazardly; whereas fire only moves upward, indicating the Pitta’s hunger for moving toward higher goals. In essence, energetic Pittas are naturally inclined to transform or change things for the better.
Agnimile purohitam yagyasya devamrtvijam hotaram ratnadhatamam
“O Agni, I adore Thee, O priest, O divine minister,
Who officiates at the divine Sacrifice,
Who is also the invoker, the Summoner,
Who most bestows the divine wealth upon us.”
