Now concerning the luminaries or meditations upon fire. Fire is the prior form, the sun is the posterior form. Water is the intermediate form and lightning is the connection. That one should meditate upon light.

Now concerning knowledge: The teacher is the prior form, the taught is the posterior form, learning is the intermediate form, and the instruction is the means of joining them – thus one should meditate on learning.
