Here the Son speaks to his Guide;

“I will now return to my Father,
For he can neither live nor act without me.”

The Guide immediately answers the Son;

“I will not let you go down alone;
I have led you from your Father’s bosom,
And I must bring you there again,
That he may once more rejoice in life
With the virtue we will bring him.”

They both Stood up and started off,
Returning to the Father’s presence.
When the Father saw the son,
He rose up and cried:

This high peak of India lies in a vessel;
Guide and Son, Soul and Spirit, have climbed to the skies.
