Why consciousness has been equated with a fire?

Fire has unique properties.

1. It takes a lot of courage to enter the fire because you would not stay as you were before entering.
In the same way, entering into pure consciousness is not easy.

It will transform you.

2. Fire unifies everything.

Whether you are a wood, leaf, or anything else, everything will burn and become a fire.

Anyone who enters the fire of consciousness will also be equalized.

Everyone would have the same experience.

That’s where we all unite.

( Their expression in the word may differ – Krishna vs. Mahavir vs. Christ ).

3. Fire’s nature is to give us heat and light without discrimination.

Enlightened saints will also not discriminate as to who gets their knowledge.

4. Just like fire, consciousness also gives out the light – the light of knowledge and removes the darkness of ignorance.

5. Fire always rises higher.

Consciousness always lifts you.
