'There is this verse, "He who sees this, does not see death, nor illness, nor pain; he who sees this, sees everything, and obtains everything everywhere. '"He is one (before creation), he becomes three (fire, water, earth), he becomes five, he becomes seven, he becomes nine; then again he is called the eleventh, and hundred and ten and one thousand and twenty." 'When the intellectual aliment has been purified, the whole nature becomes purified. When the whole nature has been purified, the memory becomes firm. And when the memory (of the Highest Self) remains firm, then all the ties (which bind us to a belief in anything but the Self) are loosened. 'The venerable Sanatkumâra showed to Nârada, after his faults had been rubbed out, the other side of darkness. They call Sanatkumâra Skanda, yea, Skanda they call him.'

In plain words: An old verse says that whoever sees this truth does not see death, sickness or pain, and gains everything. The One becomes the many things of the world. When what we take in through our senses and mind is pure, our whole nature becomes pure, our memory of the true Self stays steady, and everything that binds us comes loose. In this way the wise Sanatkumara, also called Skanda, washed away Narada's faults and led him beyond darkness.
