5.12.1 "Aupamanyava, whom do you reverence as your Lord?"

"The heaven indeed, Sir, O King," said he.

"The heaven is a brightly shining sign of God, but it is not God, whom you have taken it to be. Therefore there are gifts of provision in plenty in your family.

5.12.2 You eat food; you see what is pleasing. He eats food; he sees what is pleasing. There is eminence in sacred knowledge in the family of him who knows God thus. That, however, is only a head's worth of the truth," said he. "Your head would have fallen off, if you had not come unto me."
