This episode covers the start of chapter 32 to:
“...a lover of quiet, now he had attained the utter stillness of death.”

Summary:
This first part of the chapter covers the resurrection story of Rama, which mirrors the biblical story of Lazarus. The group examined Sri Yukteswar's interpretation of Jesus's reference to being the "Son of God" and explored how this concept relates to divine consciousness within humans. We read and analyzed the biblical story of Lazarus's resurrection from John 11, followed by the account of Rama's similar resurrection performed by Lahiri Mahashaya. The discussion included insights about faith, testing, and the relationship between guru and disciple, with particular emphasis on how Rama's faith remained strong even when faced with his apparent imminent death from cholera.
