Translated Text:

Around You, within this fire enclosure,
First of all, we walk,
Wise Lord, again and again,
Through the Most Incremental Mentality.
Reverence to it, which You appoint for reverence.

Commentary:

The congregation is standing around a fire altar within an enclosure, walking around it multiple times; the prayerful only have the Wise Lord in their mind. Fire represents the Divine Faculty of Creation and Promotion—the Progressive Mentality, a faculty worthy of reverence.

Pondering Point:

“Fire is the symbol of the ultimate energy at the heart of creation, and it deserves our utmost reverence.”
