यदादित्यगतं तेजो जगद्भासयतेऽखिलम् | यच्चन्द्रमसि यच्चाग्नौ तत्तेजो विद्धि मामकम्
yadādityagataṃ tejo jagadbhāsayate.akhilam . yaccandramasi yaccāgnau tattejo viddhi māmakam
太陽中照亮整個世界的光芒,月亮中的光芒,以及火焰中的光芒——你要知道,那光芒都是我的。
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.
此節描述了主作為普照一切的意識之光的內在性。我是太陽照亮世界之光的原因和源頭,也是月亮中太陽的反射光和火焰之光的源頭。「Tejah」(光芒)指的是意識之光。若有人質疑,意識之光遍存於一切動靜之物,為何主特別提及太陽、月亮和火焰中的光?我們解釋說,意識之光在太陽等物中更高層次的顯現,是因為它們之中「悅性」(Sattva)的濃度較高。「悅性」在它們之中表現得極其輝煌明亮,這就是其特殊性的原因。如同人的臉無法在牆壁、木塊或石頭上反射,卻能在潔淨的鏡中清晰反射,反射的清晰度取決於鏡子的透明度。同樣,神的光芒在太陽中閃耀,也在虔誠者的純潔心中閃耀。
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.
