Dear friend, your heart is a polished mirror. You must wipe it clean of the veil of dust which has gathered upon it, because it is destined to reflect the light of divine secrets. When the light from Allah begins to shine upon the regions of your heart, the lamp of the heart will be lit...It is your private sun Abdu'L-Qadir Al-Gilani |
Light doesn't seem to be part of the material world Scientific findings affirm that Light doesn't seem to exist in time, space or matter as other things do. Light, therefore, seems to occupy a very special place in the cosmic scheme" The thing light is most like, it turns out,is consciousness. Consciousness is often spoken of as the inner light He who sees the Lord, the sun, in one's heart,sees the truth |
| How could the rays of God's light fit into the heart? Yet when you search you will find it there, not that it could be said that the light is in that place. You will find it through that place ... Jalaluddin Rumi |
The ancient yogis believed that there was an actual center of spiritual consciousness, called "the lotus of the heart," revealed in deep meditation, it has the form of a lotus and that it shines with an inner light. Patanjali |
Him the sun does not illumine, nor the moon, nor the stars, nor the lightning--nor, verily, fires kindled upon the earth. He is the one light that gives light to all. He shines; everything shines. Mundaka Upanishad |

Light is indivisible; its nature is not altered by its refraction into colors nor diminished by its graduation into clarity and darkness. "God is the light of the heavens and the earth", says the Qur'an (XXIV, 35). The Divine Light brings things out from the darkness of nothing. There is no more perfect symbol of the Divine Unity than light Gold, the solar metal, is in some way light made corporeal. In the spiritual order, alchemy is none other than the art of transmuting bodily consciousness into spirit: "body must be made spirit," say the alchemists, "for spirit to become body." like a stone transforms into crystal. Seyyed Hossein Nasr |
| Man's original food is the light of God, animal food is improper for him." |

Wait for the illuminating openness, as though your chest were filling with light, as when God said, Did we not expand you? (Koran 94:1). He is overflowing with God's light -- he has broken the cup of the body, he is Absolute Light. Rumi |
| I wish i could show you, When you are lonely or in darkness, the Astonishing Light Of your own Being!" Hafiz |

| Deep within us all there is an amazing inner sanctuary of the soul, a holy place, a Divine Center, a speaking Voice, to which we may continually return. Eternity is at our hearts, pressing upon our time-torn lives, warming us with intimations of an astounding destiny, calling us home unto Itself. It is the Shekinah of the soul, the Presence in the midst.. Yielding to these persuasions, gladly committing ourselves in body and soul, utterly and completely, to the Light Within, is the beginning of true life |
