The illuminated one, or a sage, is an embodiment of divine Wisdom, divine Consciousness and divine Experience. In the crying baby, the playing boy, the fiery youth, the puzzled man and the disillusioned old man, the sage perceives God, finds the same divine Self. In all persons he sees the one common, underlying divine Consciousness, God's Breath and Image, the Kingdom of Heaven. Outward forms, differences in mind, pecularity of nature, do not matter with him. The apparent change which the people call death does not belong to the divine Spirit within.
Life continues beyond.
Man sleeps with one encasement, and wakes up after a short while, with another encasement. Death has lost its dread for the illuminated sage. Like this sage, we too can gain the divine vision, conquer death, and live dynamically in the omnipresent Godhead.
