dn11:80.1 Then that mendicant attained a state of immersion such that a path to divinity appeared.
dn11:80.2 Then he approached the gods of the Divinity’s host and said,
dn11:80.3 ‘Respectable sirs, where do these four principal states cease without remainder, namely, the elements of earth, water, fire, and air?’
dn11:80.4 But they also said to him,
dn11:80.5 ‘Mendicant, we too do not know this.
dn11:80.7 But there is the Divinity, the Great Divinity, the Vanquisher, the Unvanquished, the Universal Seer, the Wielder of Power, God Almighty, the Maker, the Creator, the First, the Begetter, the Controller, the Father of those who have been born and those yet to be born. He is our superior.
dn11:80.8 He might know.’
dn11:80.10 ‘But respectable sirs, where is that divinity now?’
dn11:80.11 ‘We also don’t know where he is or what way he lies.
dn11:80.12 But by the signs that are seen—light arising and radiance appearing—we know that divinity will appear. For this is the harbinger for the appearance of the Divinity, namely light arising and radiance appearing.’
