32. Prâna (The Life Force), Fire

Why did people rightly worship fire? Because it is life itself that becomes visible to the physical eye. This forced people to worship, for it was the life of the deity itself that they recognized, that which gave them all life, kept everything alive, but could also destroy everything. Then Moses also encountered the deity in the fiery bush. In the fire he recognized the living God. In this, Christ, who is the life of the world, is also the fire in the physical, because fire is the strongest expression of life that frees itself from physical bondage.
