Chapter 21 explains the profound idea that all Saints are inwardly one, despite appearing in different places and times. To illustrate this, the text presents an analogy of a sovereign king managing his kingdom. Just as a king establishes outposts with appointed officers to ensure prosperity and order, the "Emperor of Self-bliss" (God) appears in various places as different Saints. These Saints, as described in the chapter, act as the officers, invisibly pulling the strings to drive the chariot of the divine kingdom. This analogy highlights that although Saints may seem separate, they are part of a single, unified spiritual arrangement, and the signs and ways of one are completely known to another.
