Translation -
The preceptor should say to the seeker after truth, 'If thou wilt try to realize God, with a mental vision different from that adopted by the ancient sages, thy offspring, reckoning from the eldest, will die.' Verily have I now realized God, who exists after the dissolution of the universe, is far from the ignorant, and near the learned. Like the ancient sages, with a brain full of knowledge, have I visualized God, and acquired Him. Verily, this God is Resourceful, Nourishing, serviceable. He, who thus knows God, becomes resourceful, nourishing, and serviceable.
Footnote -
I: A seeker after truth, who thus replies.
