Gems From Bhagavan

[Guest guest]

There is first the white light, so to call it, of the Self, which transcends

both light and darkness. In it no object can be seen. There is neither

seer nor seen. Then there is also total darkness (avidya) in which no

objects are seen. But from the Self proceeds a reflected light, the light

of pure mind (manas), and it is this light which gives room for the

existence of all the film of the world, which is seen neither in total light

nor in total darkness, but only in the subdued or reflected light.
