Many becomes two: two one: one Naught. What comes to Naught?

What! shall the Adept give up his hermit life, and go eating and drinking and making merry?

Ay! shall he not do so? he knows that the Many is Naught; and having Naught, enjoys that Naught even in the enjoyment of the Many.

For when Naught becomes Absolute Naught, it becomes again the Many.

And this Many and this Naught are identical; they are not correlatives or phases of some one deeper Absence-of-Idea; they are not aspects of some further Light: they are They!

Beware, O my brother, lest this chapter deceive thee!

     The title of this chapter refers to the Greek number, PG being "Pig" without an "i".
     The subject of the chapter is consequently corollary to Chapters 79 and 80, the ethics of Adept life.
     The Adept has performed the Great Work; He has reduced the Many to Naught; as a consequence, he is no longer afraid of the Many.
     Paragraph 4. See Berashith.
     Paragraph 5, take things for what they are; give up interpreting, refining away, analysing. Be simple and lucid and radiant as Frater P.
     Paragraph 6. With this commentary there is no further danger, and the warning becomes superfluous.

     (41) pg = PG = Pig without an I = Blind Pig.
