→Affinities
Hereditary influence creates an affinity and affinity is a living thing. It is only when the hereditary part is changed that the affinity ceases.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/karma-and-heredity#p11</ref>
As a general rule, all these affinities have to be surrendered to the Divine along with the rest of the old nature—so that only what is in harmony with the Divine Truth can be kept and transformed for its work in you. All relations with others must be relations in the Divine and not of the old personal nature. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/human-relations-and-the-spiritual-life#p20</ref>
==Agni==
Agni, master of pure tapas, works out all the actions of the Yoga, the inner sacrifice. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/16/rv-i-dot-94-dot-1-10#p14</ref>
Agni, the inner flame, the soul within us (for who can deny that the soul is fire?), the innate aspiration drawing man towards the heights; Agni, the ardent will within us that sees, always and forever, and remembers; Agni, ‘the priest of the sacrifice,’ the ‘divine worker,’ the ‘envoy between earth and heaven’ (Rig-veda III, 3.2) ‘he is there in the middle of his house’ (I.70.2). <ref>http://incarnateword.in/agenda/02/october-30-1961#p41</ref>
