Given the great task Mani had taken up, it would only be appropriate to first of all gain a clear impression of the means she required to fulfil this task. She should call on the master there on the island - like here too - and she would then be briefed further. Sol
should see to his sister, and take good care of her as before. The master excused himself, the friends finished their report, for not being able to receive them at the present time because he had a long row of meetings with the exercise-leaders and those practising, and those meetings had to take place otherwise the whole process of all the exercises here on the island would come to a halt. He was glad however that Mani had taken up the hard, but also rewarding task of freeing the star-princess - and he was aware that Mani had to make some preparations; everything she needed to know she would find out on the Island of Overflowing Wealth, which should be her next destination. The
master greeted them cordially and gave each of the two a flower as a
token of his help which they might require. With these words the grandmother gave her grandchildren the flowers which she had received from the divine sage; and when Mani accepted her flower with shy joy and held it in her hand, immediately the same powerful experiences of her inner cosmic worlds, streaming in infinite bliss, arose so that she remembered spontaneously the scene where Sehermund gave the flower to the king Helgi, accepting him into the ring of sages. Certainly she was not admitted to the ring of the sages - thought Mani - she was still too far from that, for she had first of all to master her own role in life with the same resoluteness as this mighty honourable king; but she knew that wisdom, but also knowledge, very generally relied on such concrete inner experience as they had just now manifested so overwhelmingly in her own nature. Mani had realized that real knowledge could not be gained by outer speculation or explanation, as is believed outside in so many a world beyond the world ocean where one is stuck here and stuck there with unsolved problems - which only prove the inefficiency of this speculative way of gaining knowledge by outer means of measuring, in connexion with the dark and limited waking state of consciousness flashed through by lightning. |
