Chapter 13 • Verse 18

ज्योतिषामपि तज्ज्योतिस्तमसः परमुच्यते। ज्ञानं ज्ञेयं ज्ञानगम्यं हृदि सर्वस्य विष्ठितम्॥

jyotiṣhām api taj jyotis tamasaḥ param uchyate jñānaṁ jñeyaṁ jñāna-gamyaṁ hṛidi sarvasya viṣhṭhitam

Meaning

That is the light of all lights, said to be beyond darkness. It is knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the goal of knowledge, seated in the hearts of all.

Brahman is the light illuminating all lights — the sun borrows its brilliance from That. Beyond all darkness of ignorance. It is knowledge itself, what is to be known, and the destination reached through knowledge. Present in every heart.

Strength Reflection

"The Divine light is in my heart, the knowledge, the known, and the goal."

Devotional Surrender

O Lord, You are the light of my heart. Illuminate my darkness with Your presence.
