LightLight is not knowledge but the illumination that comes from above and liberates the being from obscurity and darkness.
SRI AUROBINDO
Our sense by its incapacity has invented darkness. In truth there is nothing but Light, only it is a power of light either above or below our poor human vision's limited range. For do not imagine that light is created by the Suns. The Suns are only physical concentrations of Light, but the splendour they concentrate for us is self-born and everywhere. God is everywhere and wherever God is, there is Light.
SRI AUROBINDOEven if there is much darkness — and the world is full of it and the physical nature of man also - yet a ray of the true Light can prevail eventually against a tenfold darkness. Believe that and cleave to it always.

Light and airy, it radiates.
