Three men on yaks followed by a small army of children are seen walking along a road steeply flanked by rice terraces and fruit trees. The men are wearing the flowing white robes and fez hats of Sufis while the following crowd and other watchers are in the traditional costume of the Hunzakuts. While the party waits to see the Mir, one starts to whirl around to the amazement of the children, and another gets out his reed flute and plays a tune. The remaining man talks quietly about his teacher and the nature of devotion.
⋅ In the cave analogy the sparks of the field of Pure Consciousness create the shadow world of multiplicity ⋅ Love for the sparks of this unified field lead the mind to the greatest bliss in which the waves of individual love merge back into the ocean of universal love ⋅ By means of practice, by devotion and service, the bliss becomes blissful ⋅ By talking about the knowledge, by thinking about it, by mutually questioning one another, one further brings out the supreme knowledge of life ⋅ By the practice of Yogic Flying, individuals through out time and through out the world have made great progress in life.
The tree's commentary:
This results in the culture having to rely on devotion to God ⋅ Relying on devotion alone creates an age of faith ⋅ As faith decays an age of Science emerges to discover the basis of faith ⋅ This brings the discovery of the knowledge and technology of the Unified Field ⋅ The technology of the Unified Field gives a culture the ability to infuse the infinite flexibility and infinite stability of natural law into daily life ⋅
Once the Unified Field is experienced in pure consciousness, then through devotion it will come to be lived in daily life ⋅ Trying to remember some nice feeling of devotion without the actual experience of the Transcendent is just a mood, a subjective thing ⋅We want to be objective so we treat meditating like having a bath– we have it and then forget about it ⋅ That stabilizes pure consciousness in our lives, preventing us from being overcome by problems ⋅ Just as the softer layers in wood stop the spreading of cracks, so putting softer layers of pure consciousness in your day stops stress from spreading ⋅ If you drill a hole in the end of a crack then that stops it from continuing further and if you put a hole in the path of stress then that stops stress spreading ⋅ Meditating puts a deep hole or well full of bliss in the path of any stress ⋅ This allows you to absorb the momentum from doing one thing so that you can turn around and do another thing.
The conversation in this book leads to the conversation in the third book on the importance of returning home to the Self. It covers the role of AyurVeda and the mechanics of Jyotish and Yagya.

One starts to come out of confusion with the first step one takes towards the self ⋅ ‘No effort is lost, no obstacle exists’ on the path as it is the natural tendency of life to go towards more and more ⋅ Living 200% of life – 100% absolute, 100% relative is the legitimate desire of every man ⋅ The role of the teacher in inspiring the student and providing the steps of progress ⋅ The role of good diet and ‘Acharya Rasayana’– good behaviour – in creating a long and happy life ⋅ The basis of good behaviour lies in the regular experience of the Self ⋅ Regular experience of the Self allows the individual and the society to only pick up the best from the environment and to ignore whatever is not life supporting ⋅ By turning the senses in the opposite direction to that in which they normally face, the mind is led towards the supreme

Existence is based on progress not the other way round ⋅ Loss of flexibility and the ability to cope with change comes from a culture losing the knowledge and technology for experiencing the Self ⋅ Modern science and technology is partial knowledge – it cultivates an understanding of the known but does not cultivate the knower or the process of knowing ⋅
