5.13.1 Then he said to Satyayajna Paulushi: "Pracinayogya! Whom do you reverence as your Lord?"

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

"The sun is a manifold sign of God, but it is not God, whom you have taken it to be. Therefore much of all sorts is seen in your family, [2] for example, a chariot drawn by a she-mule rolled up before your door, a female slave, a gold necklace. 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 an eye's worth of the truth," said he. "You would have become blind, if you had not come unto me."
