True sources of light can be like the Sun, either shining in the clear blue sky or hidden behind dark clouds. When you are lost, they can guide you like the North Star. When you are in despair, they can give you glimpse of hope like a thunder in the stormy night. Even when there is no light in sight, you can find the ever-glowing source of light inside by closing your eyes.
To be enlightened, seek out the light from within & without and grow towards it.
There is no clear demarcation between the end of darkness and the beginning of light. It does not matter where you start as long as you are ready to go as far as it takes to reach the summit. Seek out the true sources of light in your life – purer goals, deeper questions, greater teachers, kinder intentions and bolder actions – and grow towards them.
