8.3.1 These same are real desires with a covering of what is false. Although they are real, there is a covering that is false.

For truly, whoever of one's fellows departs hence, one does not get him back to look at here.

8.3.2 But those of one's fellows who are alive there, and those who have departed, and whatever else one desires but does not get, all this one finds by going to God; for there, truly, are those real desires of his which have a covering of what is false.

So, just as those who do not know the spot might go over a hid treasure of gold again and again, but not find it, even so all creatures here go day by day to their Lord, when He takes their souls in sleep, but do not find it; for truly they are carried astray by what is false.

8.3.3 Verily, this soul is in the heart. Day by day, verily, he who knows this goes to the heavenly world.

8.3.4 Now, that serene one who, rising up out of this body, reaches the highest light and appears with his own form, is immortal and fearless by the grace of his Lord," said he, the teacher.

Verily, the name of God is the Real.

8.3.5 He who knows this goes day by day to the heavenly world.
