यदादित्यगतं तेजो जगद्भासयतेऽखिलम् | यच्चन्द्रमसि यच्चाग्नौ तत्तेजो विद्धि मामकम्

太阳之光普照整个世界,月亮之光、火焰之光——须知彼光皆源于我。
That light in the sun which illumines the whole world, that which is in the moon, and that which is in fire,-know that light to be Mine.
此节经文描述了主作为普照一切的意识之光的内在存在。主是太阳照亮世界之光的源头,也是月亮反射的阳光和火焰之光的源头。这种光在太阳、月亮和火焰中之所以有特殊的显现,是因为它们之中纯善之德(Sattva)的高度集中,使其格外明亮和光辉。
The immanence of the Lord as the allilluminating light of consciousness is described in this verse.I am the cause and the source of the light by which the sun illumines the world? as also the reflected light of the sun in the moon and that of fire.Tejah Light The light of consciousness.If that is so? an objector says The light of consciousness exists alike in all moving and unmoving objects. Then why has the Lord mentioned this special alification of light as residing in the sun? moon and fire Please explain. We say The higher manifestation of the light of consciousness in the sun? etc.? is due to a large concentration of Sattva in them. Sattva is very brilliant and luminous in them. That is the reason why there is this special alification.Here is an illustration. The face of a man is not at all reflected on a wall? piece of wood or a block of stone? but the same face is reflected beautifully in a very clean mirror. The degree of clearness of the reflection in the mirror is acording to the degree of transparency of the mirror. The more the transparency of the mirror? the better the reflection of the face the less the transparency? the worse the reflection. Even so Gods light shines in the sun and also in the pure heart of a devotee.
