229. A fellow-pilgrim

```

A man-made umbrella,

A God-made hand

Protected the chosen Son of God

From Indra’s passion-shower.

Indra desired to extinguish the faith-flames

Of the disciple in his Master.

God increased the disciple’s faith-flames, love-beams,

Making him realise

His Master, too,

Was a human being,

A fellow-pilgrim.
