Retranslation: And the self-Existent All said, “I will cause you to distinguish the truth about these strange ways which you serve; and, after I show you My truth, you will be reborn into My world, and your desire will be to serve Me, as the servant of my house, and to remain in this condition forever.*

*(SH p. 578: 17)   “. . and I will dwell in the house [consciousness] of [Love] forever.”
