1. ‘Place this salt in the water. In the morning come unto me.’ Then he did so. Then he said to him: ‘That salt you placed in the water last evening—please, bring it hither.’ Then he grasped for it, but did not find it, as it was completely dissolved.

Then come unto me.’ He did so, saying, ‘It is always the same.’ Then he said to him: ‘Verily, indeed, my dear, you do not perceive Being here. Verily, indeed, it is here.
