Light is a phenomenon that itself is invisible but makes everything visible. By and large, we identify it with a physical source of light like the Sun, that reveals as a power point of cosmic mind. Light dispels the darkness, and ignorance is nothing but darkness in which we cannot comprehend the Reality. Only through the light of knowledge can we dispel the darkness of ignorance. Love, compassion, service, etc., are embodiments of divine light that make our acquaintance with Truth. Supreme Absolute Light is Omnipresent- Omniscient. Desire is the darkest aspect of human emotion that has created our separate identity and ego. As a shadow appears when light is intercepted by any object, so does the person arise when the Light of Pure Consciousness is obstructed by the desires of individuality. Therefore, in parlance of spiritual pursuit, the emphasis is always laid on the shedding of desire. In fact, spirituality is a process of negation; abrogate your body consciousness, withdraw the senses, shun the individuality, melt the ego and so on since the human mind and intellect, being finite in nature, cannot hold the Light of Infinite. The mind does not give us any independent knowledge apart from what we obtain through senses. Even the intellect is only a form of judgment that is passed on to the mind through synthesis of what has been gathered by the senses. So the intellect, the mind and the senses seem to be of a common group. The darkness which is being referred to here is, in fact, caused by the excessive Light of the Supreme. Excessive light have a blinding effect and that is why the Light of the Supreme is beyond the comprehension of human mind and senses. So we encounter darkness off and on in the phenomenal world. Consequent upon gradual shedding the darker layers of our personality, we also shed the darkness enshrouding our real Self, which alone is the Absolute Truth. Because of the limited range of frequencies in which the human mind and senses can function in time-space complex, one has to go back to the Real Source to regain the vibrancy of tired senses and mind. That is why we submit our self to the darkness of sleep every night, where we go without any single worldly possession or object. In that state of perfect repose, we become the Supreme Light, the Light of Pure Consciousness; beyond which nothing exists. But we fail to pierce the darkness of excessive Light of the Supreme, for our conditioning, without proper methodology. We are the Pristine Glory of our Source of Divine Light and our quest is for its ‘Realisation’. .................Om Shanti!
