After the summit, a return: the shuttle of states works even for one who has seen the depth; out of dream back into waking, "by the same way to the former place". An excursion to the world of Brahman does not abolish the morning.
But now this familiar verse reads differently: the one returning knows where he is returning from. Waking after the depth is not the whole of reality but one of the stations; and the conversation is ready for the last transition — the one from which there is no return to this waking: death. The verses that follow will begin to analyse it in the same calm tone in which they analysed sleep.
