 | From a Vedanta perspective, the Light is the Self, the Atman, the Truth of
our existence. |
| Lord Sri Krishna shines as the Self in every one of us.
|
|
When we know His presence, the demon Narakasura, who has been tormenting
us, dies. |
|
To know the Self is to undo our ego.
|
|
The ego thrives amidst a thousand thoughts relating to ‘I, me and my’.
|
|
The demon Narakasura has large number of supporters, other demons. |
|
The Geeta (13:17) declares, "The Light of all lights resides in everybody’s
heart." |
|
The Light of the Self illumines everything in our life’s experiences, as
the sun illumines the entire earth. |
|
All other lights borrow from the Light of the Self. (Kathopanishad 2:2:15)
|
|
The true ‘I’ shines forth in all glory, when the misconceived ego dies. (Ramana
Maharshi, Upadesha Sara 20) |

"You are the Supreme Light" – Adi Shankaracharya in Ekashloki.
