Kinds of Fire
There are five types of fire. These are Bhutagni, Kamagni, Jatharagni, Badabagni and Jnanagni.

 Bhutagni means the fire with which you heat your home, to keep warmth in yourself. It sustains life. Without the physical fire, life gets extinguished.

There is a second type of fire known as Jatharagni. It is the fire of hunger and digestion. . If the fire of digestion is less or more, it affects your health. It affects your balance. The purpose of the fever is to purify your body. In fever, your body is developing a defense mechanism. It is burning all those foreign particles and enemies that have entered the body. As soon as this foreign bacteria or virus goes out of the body, your fever comes down.

The third type of fire is called Kamagni. It is the fire of desire. It is the fire of lust and passion. Because of this fire of passion that life continues on this planet. The passion fire is present in all the species of the creation. The moment a desire comes, we fulfill it immediately. Then the fire does not stay in you and does not burn you up. Sex is one of the oldest impressions other than eating. From all lifetimes, you have done two things for sure. One is eating and another is sex. As a cow, as a monkey, donkey, horse, ox, whatever it is, passing through all these qualities, these two acts have been there. When this passion arises, observe it. It is present in every cell of your body. It engulfs you, burns you and moves on. If you do not allow that to come up, then there is no vigor, valor, joy, or enthusiasm in any activity one does.

The fourth type of fire is called Badabagni. It is the fire of criticism. When people criticize you, what happens? Fire wakes up. Fire awakens in your system. When you stand in front of a big crowd, what happens? You feel your heart beating and you are shivering from the fear of criticism or of the opinions of people.

The fifth type of fire is called Jnanagni. It is the fire of knowledge or love. When life moves through all these fires, it comes out cold. Unfortunately, we have not understood this principle. We do not even allow the fire to come up. The moment fever comes, we suppress the symptoms and our immune system goes down.
