Fire (or, heat) is certainly greater than water. That fire, taking air as its support, heats the sky. Then people say - ‘It is very hot. The body is burning. It will rain soon.’ Fire first produces these signs, and then creates the rain. This is why there is lightning going straight up or going sideways in a zigzag manner, and along with it thunder. This is why people say - ‘There is lightning and thunder. It will rain soon’. Worship fire.
‘One who worships fire as Brahman becomes bright himself, and he attains worlds that are bright, shining, and without a hint of darkness. One who worships fire as Brahman can do what he pleases within the range of fire.’ Nārada asked - ‘Sir, is there anything higher than fire?’ ‘Of course, there is something higher than fire,’ replied Sanatkumāra. Nārada then said - ‘Sir, please explain that to me’.
