Not very long at all. Wiki can be such a wonderful tool. Does that get a coffee?? All recovered from trip, looking forward to doing something with the material.

We can compare Svetaketu here with a university student: getting lots of information about science, arts, literature, etc., but still remaining essentially ignorant about the Final Truth - Final Knowledge. The father is telling his son about the unifying principle of all the knowledge his son has acquired, the metaphysical side of unity in diversity, the one substratum lying hidden within every name and form.
