Chapter 15
"God is the preceptor of the ancestor of all beings, because He transcends the limit of time" (Yogadarsana 1/26). How much influential and unique, God must be when His light (splendour), is so unique, that with it the sun illumines the world and the same light is reflected in the moon, the fire, the stars and the lightning (electricity) etc.! By thinking so, a man is naturally attracted towards Him. The sun is the presiding deity of eyes. Therefore, light (power of sight) in eyes, should also be regarded as God's (coming from Him).
Yaccandramasi:- As the illuminating power, as well as, the burning power in the sun, is God's, so is illuminating power or the cooling power, as well as, the nourishing power, in the moon, is God's; because, in the moon the light of the sun, is reflected. Here, the moon also denotes, stars and planets.
The moon is the presiding deity of the mind. Therefore, light (power of thought), in the mind should also be regarded, as transmitted in succession from God.
Yaccagnau:- As the sun's light, is reflected in the fire, so is the fire's illuminating power, as well as, the burning power God's; rather than of the fire.
The fire, also denotes lightning (electricity), a lamp and fire-flies.
Fire, is the presiding deity of speech. Therefore, the light (power of explanation) in the speech, should also be regarded as God's.
Tattejo viddhi mamakam:- The light, which resides in the sun, the moon and the fire and which illumines, other objects (stars, planets, lightning and fire-fly etc.) should be regarded, as God's.
