Acharya Prashant explains that light is merely a medium for the perception of objects, and objects collectively constitute the world. In the context of the eyes, light acts as a bridge between the object and the observer, making the object the primary focus rather than the light itself. He draws a parallel between light, objects, the world, and the individual consciousness, stating that while truth is the source of consciousness, it is not contained within it. Referring to the teachings of the Upanishads and Kabir Saheb, he emphasizes that the ultimate truth is beyond the reach of the senses and the current state of human consciousness. He describes the divine as being both extremely far for those who cling to their ego and very near for those willing to dissolve their identity.
