"What do you suppose Tony would have answered to that?" Ross asked.
"He would have answered with his usual honesty," I assured Ross. "He would have said, 'My embrace of you will necessarily be a sexual embrace, Indira. How could it not be that?' Tony would have cautioned her that he would have to be honest about that. He might have said, 'The angel that you speak of, that guided John to see that woman in his profound vision, may have unfolded from John's highest spiritual concept of humanity, the highest concept of man, which he might not have recognized in his own view as being fully complete until he saw mankind in a sexual context as a woman. Indira, if this is so, that has to be my goal, too. But, can I guarantee you that I won't screw things up along the way? I can't give you that guarantee. I can only promise to try to brighten your life in some small way. Do you still want to be embraced by me then, as a woman, because that is how I embrace you already? Do you want to be embraced in this way with the tenderness of an angel, an angel of sex? I wouldn't know how else to embrace you except as the wonderful woman that you truly are."
"Indira would have responded with open arms," I said to Ross. She would likely have said, "I wouldn't accept anything less. I am a woman and a human being. As such, would I not love to be treated as a human being that is also a woman at the same time? And who else would do this completely, but an angel like you, an angel of sex, who is above everything else a human being from the bottom of his heart?"
I could imagine that their embrace would have lasted for a long time, for as long a time as our first 'real' embrace had lasted on our first morning in the bright sunshine on her balcony, high above the narrow streets of Old Delhi. She might have also reminded Tony that Mary did not tell us anything about ourselves that isn't already within us in full measure, to which she merely opened the door. Indira might have confirmed to Tony that the first column, representing the universal marriage of all humanity, makes us incredibly rich as a society of human beings. Likewise the second column, that pertains to sex, makes us incredibly beautiful to one-another. In the same manner, the third column, the column of the Mind, makes us incredibly courageous and daring to uplift the whole world with the power of the human intellect. And the fourth column, the column of divine Science, makes us incredibly honest with ourselves, and truthful with one-another. She might have exclaimed to Tony that we are incredibly rich, incredibly beautiful, incredibly courageous, and incredibly truthful as human beings; and that this means, that if we should ever be tempted not to regard ourselves in this way, we would be denying ourselves as human beings, because that is how we truly are. She might have warned Tony that if we were to disregard even a single one of these qualities there would be something spiritually lacking in the way we allow our life to unfold.
"Yes, Ross, I think Indira might have said wonderfully exiting things to Tony, that we would have never been able to convey," I said to Ross. "That's just the way Indira is. And knowing Tony, as we both know him, that's how I think their morning together might have unfolded. I think it made them both richer, and all of us too, as a consequence. I don't think their morning together could have unfolded in any other way. That's why I am glad for them," I said to Ross.
I was a little sad however, that morning, when the last fish had been caught to meet our needs, by which our own sunrise experience suddenly ended. The time had come to clean the fishes.
