Aswapati came "out of the timeless depths where he had sunk" and "he heard once more the slow tread of the hours". He had now gone beyond the witness Self and his universe and entered into a realm of boundless silences. He aspired to understand and hear the voice that created the worlds.

A light was round him wide and absolute,

A diamond purity of eternal sight.

There he experienced sheer being living in its own peace, content with only being, full of bliss. There was no nature now.

It was a plane of undetermined spirit...

A lonely station of Omniscience,

A diving-board of the Eternal's power.

Here was no knowledge by thought because it was beyond thought. But it was the knowledge by which the knower is known. It was "the Love in which the Beloved and the Lover are one". There were a thousand roads in that infinite realm leading towards eternity and having gone beyond the realm of the knowable he gazed with an immeasurable outlook which was "one with self's inlook into its own pure vasts". He saw the miraculous content of knowledge, power and delight of this stupendous All and "its inexhaustible acts in a timeless Time". Here on this plane of radiant Self, which was multiple of one Self, he found that the spirit was not hidden from its own view and all consciousness was oceanic happiness, "and all creation is an act of light". Then out of the neutral silence of his soul he was called to a vision that climbs beyond the reach of time.

He moved through regions of transcendent Truth

Inward, immense, innumerably one.

He was completely freed from the limitations of mind and Time's triple dividing step baffled him no more and he saw Time in a "single wide regard". There was a universal beauty sheltered behind all forms which rendered commonplace things into wonders of beauty. Here he climbed

On peaks where Silence listens with still heart

To the rhythmic meters of the rolling worlds,

and here

He served the sessions of the triple fire.

Freed from the bondage of death and sleep, he mounted beyond the seas of cosmic mind and "trod along extinction's narrow edge" and "the belt he reached of the unchanging Truth". Beings were seen whose wings fold around created space. "The sun-eyed Guardians and the golden Sphinx" he saw there. There was "a wisdom waiting on Omniscience" in silence and complete passivity. It did not judge nor measure nor try to know "but listened for the all-seeing Thought". Aswapati had reached the top of all that can be known and the heavens of light and the abyss of darkness revealed their truth to him. Only the ultimate mystery was left to be known. But still on the plane on which he stood there was a complex play of infinity and eternity "a million energies joined and were the One".

It was a realm where no untruth can come "where all are different and all is one". There "The Person in the World-Spirit anchored rode". He was

An immortal point of power, a block of poise

In a cosmicity's wide formless surge.

He was re-born in this infinite kingdom of the spirit "and grew in the wisdom of the timeless Child". Henceforward

He thought and felt in all...

He communed with the Incommunicable,

and

The Gods conversed with him behind Life's veil.

Thus,

He scanned the secrets of the Overmind,

He bore the rapture of the Oversoul...

He linked creation to the Eternal's sphere,

His finite parts approached their absolutes,

His actions framed the movements of the Gods,

His will took up the reins of cosmic Force.
