The fourfold sign of God in the individual and in the world

3.18.1 One should reflect upon the mind as a gift of God. Thus with reference to the self.

Now with reference to the creation: one should reflect upon space as a sign of God.

This is the twofold instruction with reference to the self and with reference to the creation.

3.18.2 That gift has four quarters. One quarter is speech. One quarter is breath. One quarter is the eye. One quarter is the ear. Thus with reference to the self.

Now with reference to the creation: One quarter is fire. One quarter is wind. One quarter is the sun. One quarter is the quarters of heaven.

This is the twofold instruction with reference to the self and with reference to the creation.

3.18.3 Speech, truly, is a fourth part. It shines and glows, with fire as its sign. He shines and glows with fame, with splendor, and with eminence in sacred knowledge who knows this.

3.18.4 Breath, truly, is a fourth part. It shines and glows, with wind as its sign. He shines and glows with fame, with splendor, and with eminence in sacred knowledge who knows this.

3.18.5 The eye, truly, is a fourth part. It shines and glows, with the sun as its sign. He shines and glows with fame, with splendor, and with eminence in sacred knowledge who knows this.

3.18.6 The ear, truly, is a fourth part. It shines and glows, with the quarters of heaven as its sign. He shines and glows with fame, with splendor, and with eminence in sacred knowledge who knows this, yea, who knows this!
