The ‘Fire’ That Drives Action

Reference in my speech is to the ‘esoteric’ fire within each one of us that drives us to become ‘Action Oriented’ …. our ancestors brought that with them in their hearts, in abundance. Let us ensure that our future generations do not abandon it !

It is a fact that the sacred high grade consecrated fire was not carried by our ancestors who fled from Iran to escape religious persecution thru the aerial or sea route. That would be defiling it, if they did so. Thus they carried “ālāt” (religious paraphernalia), with which they consecrated the highest grade “ātashbehrām” fire (Shreeji Pāk Irānshāh), at Sanjan.
