In this chapter, the master explains the meaning of the word "true companion." He explains that a true companion is someone who is intertwined with the master's own destiny and who can help the master forget his past. The master explains that the master is experienced, and that he does not want the blazing temple to destroy the balance of the universe because it would lead to the expansion of darkness. He tells the master a story about a tiger sleeping and a donkey stepping on its tail. The goat says that the tiger is just like the tiger, so he is going to pluck it's beard when the tiger wakes up.
