Light - springs to mind when we meet a true sage
In certain people’s presence, when you see the expression on their face, how they look at you, and feel everything they radiate, the word that immediately springs to mind is ‘light’. As if they were able to distil an imponderable substance in their heart and soul and then project it out in the form of light. Or as if they had captured something of the light diffused in space and had condensed it within them. Their whole body seems made of a translucent substance within which a flame is burning. For many this light remains a great mystery, because they do not know it is the result of very real processes in the inner life: the sage, the initiate, has acquired it through constant work. From each thought, wish, feeling and action that they manage to make more disinterested, more generous and purer, they extract an infinitesimal amount of light. It is said in the sacred books that the human soul has the power to move the heavens. Yes, the soul can shake the heavens, but only through its desire to obtain light. If it insists, demands and begs, the Lord himself, who is light, cannot refuse to give it.
