A Pray for Soma : An element for wellness

इन्द्राय सोमम ऋत्विज सुनोता च धावत स्तोतु: यो वच :शृण वद हवम च मे ॥ अथर्व 

We should see in this mantra some technical words .Like what is the meaning of Ritviz .We see one who perform the deeds in right time is called the ritviz.
See in Nature all kind of activities happen in right time.So they can be also the ritviz.
In our body the system like digestive system, respiratory system,blood circulatory system reproductive system etc all perform their activities in timely.Whenever the requirements or demands appear the activities take place.Like when our body need the food we feel the hunger.Same way the  organs of the body work.The food enters in the stomach the digestive juice secretion starts.In same way whole system working.Kidney ,liver, lungs, intestine, rectum etc. So they r also the Ritvik.
Now Soma .One who can  produce the coolness  for Agni or fire, can be said Soma.For example if our fire of hunger get relief from the edible items then it is Soma.From this Soma our stomach  extracts the essence.This is pure essence called Rasa ,further it is continue to purer and purest.In this mantra says धावत ,meaning do clean and clean in process till the end  According to  the Ayurveda the  last element is in our  digestive system  makes the Majjaa .Majjaa is ending purest state of edible food,which gives the nourishment to our body.And also the vitality to Indra the lower consciousness.
Mantra says, O Ritviz ! Hear the admirable our sanctus or the reflex , and my invoking.
We can understand when  body organs all hail but it is not heard by that soma. Even it gets the disease or may be damage Why because The Soul (my invoking) is not involving in its calling or hail.Like we must merge with that organ.
For example in one kind of Yoga when breathing is felt entering nose , feeling  as whole body becomes the nose.Our existence merges in that call or hail .Then Soma  certainly comes and Nourishes also our Soul  with lower conscientiousness ;the jiva(Indra).
Indra in his lower form jiva while in upper level the Soul.Soul does not depend upon the vitality , produced by foods.But its Soma comes from higher realm and gets the energy for whole body system.
O Ritviz makes the essence for Indra  that extract  it self must be cleaning and cleaning in process and our expression admiring you Hear My invoking.
