The keeper of the book - Mirdad unveils himself, and speaks on veils and seals; on the creative word. I is the source and centre of all things; the holy triune and the perfect balance; man is a god in swaddling-bands; on crucibles and cribbles. God's word and man's; on master and servant. Companions give opinions of Mirdad; Micayon and Naronda hold a nocturnal chat with Mirdad who hints to them of the coming flood and bids them to be ready; the seven seek Mirdad in the Aerie where he warns them of doing things in the dark; the way to painless life. Companions would know if Mirdad be the stowaway; on judgment and the judgment day; love is the law of God. Mirdad divines estrangement between two companions, calls for harp and sings hymn of the New Ark; on creative silence. Speech is at best an honest lie; on prayer; the colloquy between two archangels, and the colloquy between two Archdemons at the timeless birth of man; Shamadam makes an effort to put Mirdad out of the Ark. The master speaks of insulting and being insulted, and of containing the world in holy understanding; on creditors and debtors. What is money? Rustidion acquitted of his debt to the Ark; Shamadam resorts to bribery in his fight against Mirdad; Mirdad divines the death of Himbal's father and the circumstances thereof. He speaks of death. Time is the greatest Juggler. The wheel of time, its rim and its axis; logic and faith. Self-denial is self-assertion. How to arrest the wheel of time. Weeping and laughing; where do we go after we die? On reprentance; the holy omniwill. Why things happen as they do and when they do; Mirdad relieves Zamora of his secret, and speaks of the male and the female, of marriage, of celibacy and of the overcomer; Mirdad relieves Zamora of his secret (part content).
