Light

Knowledge is what moves towards unity, and when it reaches the supramental level, it grasps the oneness, essence, and self-law of existence, and views and handles the many things from that light and fullness, somewhat like the Divine does from the highest point from which He embraces the world.

There the sun does not shine, nor the moon and stars; lightning does not shine there—much less this earthly fire. Everything shines following that alone which shines; by its radiance, all of this is illumined.

In the luminous golden sheath beyond lies Brahman—spotless, indivisible; it is the pure light of lights. That is what the knowers of the Self know.

In Samadhi, the Yogin beholds the Supreme and Immutable Brahma, which shines like a blazing light in the midst of thick darkness.

It is the self-luminous Atman that, through the power of its own maya, imagines all the objects that the subject experiences, both within and outside, by itself and within itself.

My yoke is easy and my burden is light

The whole world, from Mahat downwards, does not shine in me. Everything is Brahman only. Where then is Varnasrama?

Our mind becomes enlightened in such a way that we start seeing the image of God in every person. This makes us realize that no one is our enemy or stranger.

Kabir says, 'Your body is like a boat with thousands of holes. Those who are light will cross, while those carrying the load of ego will sink.'

Beyond what has never been known before, I am eternal, self-luminous, and free from all affliction; spotless, infinite as the supreme sky, immovable, blissful, and imperishable.

True knowledge is about the highest, innermost, and infinite aspects. A person who knows Brahman sees everything in the light of the highest reality, understanding external appearances as a translation of the internal and essential, and the finite as a part of the infinite.

There, the sun does not shine, nor the moon, nor the stars, nor lightning, nor fire. All that is bright is but the shadow of His brightness, and by His shining all this shines.

They realize a supreme felicity which none can point to or define. How can I know of Him, whether He shines or reflects one light and another?

That which is luminous and smaller than atoms, containing all worlds and their inhabitants, is This - the unchanging Brahman. Life, speech, and mind are all That.

He, the divine and formless Spirit, is both the outer and inner. He is the Unborn, beyond life and mind, and is luminous.

The greatest help of all is to be a human center of the Light, the Glory, the Bliss, the Strength, the Knowledge of the Divine Existence, one through whom it will communicate itself abundantly to other people and attract their souls to the Highest with its magnet of delight.

It is, in fact, the infinite existence and bliss of the soul in the being of the all-blissful existence. This is also the higher status, the light of the Mind beyond the mind, the joy and eternal mastery of the Life beyond life, and the riches of the Sense beyond the senses.

Their foundation and status will now be based on the silence that has fallen upon them, which will lead to their understanding of the eternal silence that is Brahman. They will respond to a higher power, joy, and light, gaining knowledge of the eternal activity of Brahman.

This life, which is actually a form of death, is not just a dark reflection of the true light. It is also the passage through which we transform our being from the state of material death into the infinite immortality of the spirit.

If we consider these things in the light of our own deeper psychology and look beyond their physical appearances, we can develop an understanding of the sense that underlies our senses, or rather, the sense that gives rise to our senses, the sight that underlies our sight, and the hearing that underlies our hearing.
