[Guest guest]

The voice did not say to Upakosala that the fire which he was

worshipping, or the sun, or the moon, or the lightning, or anything

else, was all wrong, but it showed him that the same spirit which was

inside the sun, and moon, and lightning, and the fire, and the earth,

was in him, so that everything became transformed, as it were, in the

eyes of Upakosala. The fire which was merely a material fire before,

in which to make oblations, assumed a new aspect and became the Lord.

The earth became transformed, life became transformed, the Sun, the

moon, the stars, the lightning, everything became transformed and

deified. Their real nature was known.
