The third transfiguration is the eye into the sun: a correspondence familiar from all the Upaniṣads (a man's eye and the world's eye are one thread), but here it is given a history of salvation: the sun is sight that has passed through death. By day our own rescued gaze blazes overhead.
The series teaches us to look at the luminaries as kin: fire, wind, sun, the quarters of space, the moon are not alien mechanisms but the elder destinies of our own faculties. Between man and the universe there is no chasm but a genealogy; that is why the Upaniṣads can read the cosmos by the body and the body by the cosmos.
