The Sun
Transliteration
Na tatra suryo bhati,
Na candra-tarakam,
Nema vidyuto bhanti;
Kuto ‘yam agnih:
Tam eva bhantam anubhati sarvam
Tasya bhasa sarvam idam vibhati.
Translation
There the sun shines not,
nor the moon and the stars,
nor the lightning,
let alone this earthly fire.
Only when illumining Light shines,
everything else shines;
the self-revealing Light illumines
the entire universe.
Comment
The outer sun asks us to see,
and when we look around we see all darkness.
The inner sun makes us see what we eternally are:
the Light Infinite.
