ABSTRACT

A dreamy child, in tune with nature, spirits and angels, somewhat alone crosses the Red Sea, at the age of seven, with his father and mother and siblings. The chapter is about alienation and its overcoming, ultimately only in self-transcendence or universal Self-realisation in unity existence. Most essential reality is that the people are immortal and at one with the God. The child succeeds to his spiritual teacher's position and comes to live in that holy cavernous mountain habitat in which his mentor dwelt, descending from the time to time to teach, meetings and the celebrations. Dedication to God's law gives way to love of God, which in turn gives way to unity with God, at which point the God within is realised by shedding the veils which obscure and dislocate it. It has to be followed by a much more physical, more variegated but universalising life.
