The poem continues to relate the tale of the Master's appearance in the fourth age and the establishment of the path of liberation. Remember the poem uses parable and allegory to convey eternal truth to minds trapped in Time.

The literal, sense based mind hinders spiritual progress. This is why metanoia and new birth are required to develop beyond the animal mind and body given us at birth.

Welcome to the dark age. The Kali Yuga is the age in which we are living. Life is short and violent. The redeeming factor is we have greater access the the Truth and therefore the possibility of liberation is greater.

Understanding the parables in the Gospels doesn't come naturally. It takes study, but it also takes application so that we can begin to experience metanoia, change of mind, so crucial to new birth.

This section of the poem explores the idea of Grace, unmerited favor, and how it can affect our lives.

We examine types of people and levels of truth. There is a truth that the outer man can understand. There is a higher truth that the outer man can never understand. Guess which one leads to transformation.

The story of Kabir's Incarnation in the third age is related. The difference in language forces us to wake up and think in a new way about the things we think we know. This offers us the opportunity to extract new meaning to feed an expanding consciousness of Truth.

We tidy up loose ends with Nicodemus and launch into another story that illustrates the differences between the sense based mind and the transformed mind. The Samaritan woman finds that the well is a great deal deeper than it appears.

The poem continues to tell the story of the different incarnations of the Master Power through the ages and the different disciples along the way. Gradually more and more is learned about how to be liberated from the cycle of misery in which we are found.

We continue with our examination of the story of Nicodemus and Jesus in part three. If new meaning was easy to get everyone would get it. Since it's not, they don't. What will you do?
