With
three effortless leaps the two world-creators now danced from their
creations back into the clearing; and what had extended only a moment
ago so immeasurably, now at once converged and concentrated more and
more until finally the two gleaming balls rotated again on the palms
of the two young world-creators - the one sphere silver-bright like
the moon on the hand of the girl, and the other red-golden like the
sun on the hand of the boy. The two ball-players threw their globes at the young man who so far had been watching their display from his colourful, golden-silvery mat. When he caught them with his two hands and put them together, they merged again into a single ball which this time, however, was not half silver, half gold as Mani had seen it in the very beginning; its components in many shades of gold and silver, rather permeated each other, so that at one time Mani thought the ball was of silver and at another time she was convinced the ball was of gold. Now the student held the sphere with both hands up to the firmament
between the sun and the moon and blew firmly into it. And as the wondrous sphere rotated faster and faster it became transparent. Thus the milk-white foaming sea of golden lights in the star-ball was
permeated by the golden-yellow frothing waves of the silvery-white sea
of lights. But
also from the innumerable small glowing suns which unfolded from within
the milk-ocean these eyes of delight, turned inwards, shone forth in
the scintillating splendour of silver-wrought rainbow-colours. Now the ruler of the stars threw his ball up between the sun and the
moon towards the innumerable stars of the sky. With three giant leaps the star-ball thrower jumped up into the starry firmament between sun and moon and entered his self-created silvery-golden creation. And
while in the sun- and moon-permeated starry splendour brightly shining
beings formed which like sons and daughters of the sun and the moon
peopled the unbounded, golden-silvery spaces and moved about happily
in the gardens that were glistening in gold and silver, full of mighty
jewel-plants shimmering in many colours and permeated by golden-silvery
streaks of infinite delight, he merged with his creation of effervescent
dual bliss. All beings turned towards their all-working master and drank the waves
of his delightful bliss which he poured forth from the all-warming sun-depth
of his feeling and from the all-refreshing height of his understanding
together into all directions; but all the stars of his world too aligned
their sounding orbits with him. With these celestial sounds an unlimited rapture permeated his perfect world of dual fullness in the unbounded harmony of all stars of the sky, a world built from the infinite happiness of life and permeated by thrills of blessed delight. This unlimited rapture emanated like dew from its creator, gleaming like gold and silver, and expanded like nectar throughout all the spaces and times of his creation which shone forth brighter and brighter. |
