Light - a sensation that indicates the quality of our inner states

11/14/2015

Don’t say you have no way of knowing whether you are on the right path within. You actually have at least one criterion – light. When you are meditating or when you experience a moment of great spiritual elevation, you can sometimes feel everything within you becoming bright, as if the lights had been switched on or the sun had just risen. You might even have the impression this light is radiating from your face, your hands and your whole body. Why? Because as soon as you are able to reach the higher regions of your being where purity and love reign, a light begins to shine within you. You can feel it and see it, and everything lights up. If, on the other hand, you give way to selfish and unhealthy thoughts, feelings and desires, you don’t even need to look in a mirror to realize it; you can physically feel the shadows on your face. So don’t forget this one criterion – light. And each day, try to experience states of spiritual awareness that will give you this sensation of light.
