LIGHT IS THERE
Yet Light is there; it stands at Nature’s doors:
It holds a torch to lead the traveller in.
It waits to be kindled in our secret cells;
It is a shining warrior in the mind,
An eagle of dreams in the divining heart,
An armour in the fight, a bow of God.
BOOK 10, C ANTO III: The Debate of Love and Death
In the process of the challenging growth and unfolding the presence of light “waits to be kindled in our secret cells”.

“Light is not knowledge but the illumination that comes from above and liberates the being from obscurity and darkness.”
“Our sense by its incapacity has invented darkness. In truth there is nothing but Light, only it is a power of light either above or below our poor human vision’s limited range. For do not imagine that light is created by the Suns. The Suns are only physical concentrations of Light, but the splendour they concentrate for us is self-born and everywhere. God is everywhere and wherever God is, there is Light.”
