own.
Light is synonymous with god.
The whole existence is made of light.
That has been the experience
Of all the mystics down the ages.
Now even physicists agree with it
In their own way.
They also say existence
Consists of electricity, electrons.
Electrons are nothing but light, pure light.
This is the first time
That mystics and physicists agree an one point.
They have come to the conclusion
Through different directions
Totally different, diametrically opposite.
But how long can you avoid the truth?
If the truth is there
And your search is authentic
Sooner or later you are bound to discover it.
Your path may be physics, it may be mysticism
It may be poetry, it may be music
It may be meditation.
Whatsoever path you have been following
If your search is true, if you are really a seeker
Who is ready to risk all
Then one day you are bound to discover the truth.
Now this is the truth: we are made of light
But we live in darkness, we all live in darkness
We stumble in darkness.
This is very strange: we are made of light

Man has to be a lamp unto himself.
Drop the whole idea
That you can get guidance from scriptures
That knowledge is possible by borrowing.
That is one of the greatest hindrances
In the spiritual search.
Nothing is needed from the outside
God has provided you with everything
That you will need on the journey.
The light is there
And only your own inner light can help you
To distinguish the right
From the wrong
Can help you not to go astray
Can help you to
