Through this encounter, Raji experiences worlds outside of normal human perception, and each one brings him closer to the truth of his existence.

The Perfected Ones weren’t deceived
By the pleasures of the world.
They realized that all of this
Is but a shadow play.
The sweet wrapping of the Universe
Soon melts away
Holding the skirt of love,
Some have reached the lover.
-Ahmet Hilmi 1993, 11
