Chapter 15
Link:- In the fifteenth chapter, there are four topics, each consisting of five verses. This is the third topic of five verse, from the twelfth to the fifteenth verses, as well as the sixth verse. This topic specially deals with His glory, virtues and divinity. The topic (how the sun, the moon, the fire cannot illumine, that Eternal Goal) which was not very clear, there, in the sixth verse, is explained, in the next verse.
yadadilyagatam tejo jagadbhasayate'khilam
yaccandramasi yaccagnau tattejo viddhi mamakam
The light (coming from Me) of the sun that illumines the whole world, and which is in the moon and in the fire - know, that light to be Mine. 12
Comment:-
[It is a man's nature, that he is attracted towards a thing, which he feels as, significant. He is attached to material objects (body, wife, son and riches etc.) by regarding these as significant. Therefore the Lord, in order to, efface the influence of worldly objects from the mind of the embodied soul, discloses the secret, that whatever significance or splendour there is, of those material objects, that is really (basically) His, as all of these are illumined, by His light as He is supremely glorious.]
Yadadityagatam tejo jagadbhasayate'khilam:- As the Lord (in 2/55) declares, that desire resides in the mind so does He here declare, that light (splendour) resides in the sun. It means that as desires appear in the mind though they are not of the mind, so does the light appear that it is of the sun, though it is not, it comes from God.
The light (splendour), of the sun illumines the whole world, but that light is really God's, though it appears to be of the sun, as the sun cannot illumine God or His Supreme Abode. The great sage Patanjali, declares
