' Again, Soma is the visible expression of the
sacrificer's wish to move the god to whom it is offered ;
and the sacrifice has the desired effect: then it becomes
not only the symbol of the wish but the symbol of the
wish realized, the symbol of the efficiency which brings
that wish to realization: and then the symbolism passes
away-if indeed there had ever been a clear conscious-
ness that it was symbolism,-and there is left, Soma the
wish, Soma the wish realized, Soma the efficiency which
realized the wish, Soma the god.

Word:

efficiency

Question:

Why does the symbolism of the sacrifice represented by Soma pass away once the wish is realized?

Answer (optional):

The symbolism of the sacrifice represented by Soma passes away once the wish is realized because Soma becomes the efficiency which brings the wish to realization, and the symbolism of the wish realized passes away.
