Here is a portion from Yogi Baba Prem's message of the day that is emailed free to those that would like to receive it:
To continue our exploration of the word 'Brahman' the expansive mind that is divinity, one must recognize that all the devas are names of Brahman. These are forms and streams of consciousness that create all matter and form creation from the subatomic levels to visible matter. This comprises the saguna Brahman (Brahman with qualities) referred to in Vedanta.
To examine this, let's look at the Vedic deity Agni-the sacred fire. Within your physical body the manifestation of this would be the digestive fire called jatharagni. This is an agni of the mind mano agni, which is our ability to digest information. On a cosmic level, Agni is the energy field that is the turbine of creation. Agni would be Surya in the realm of light and within the ethers Agni would be Vayu, this is the realm of intermediate space. Of course, we can do a similar analysis with each deity. If one wishes they could examine it the following way: Agni is the turbine of creation, Vayu and Soma are the foods that feed the turbine. The visible manifestation of this turbine is light-Surya. One could also view it as light as food as well. These different terms are all aspects of Brahman.--Yogi Baba Prem
This is addressing the verse 'In the beginning, all was Brahman...he who among the Gods awakened to this became that... ' [meaning he awoke to the realization that all is Brahman] Br. Upanishad. 1.4
