"Truthfulness alone is the spiritual discipline in the Kaliyuga." - Ramakrishna

Awakened vision is usually described as "light" because it shares with light all-encompassing, all-pervasive, boundless clarity, which through our normal sensual channels amounts to light.  But in fact we disappear into clarity, not light.

"The nearer you come to God, the more you feel peace.  Peace, peace, peace--supreme peace!  The nearer you come to the Ganges, the more you feel its coolness.  You will feel completely soothed when you plunge into the river." - R

"One ultimately discovers God by trying to know who this "I" is.  Is this 'I' the flesh, the blood, the bones, the marrow?  Is it the mind or the buddhi?  Analyzing thus, you realize at last you are none of these.  This is called the process of 'neti, neti,' 'not  this, not this.'  One can neither comprehend nor touch the Atman.  It is without qualities or attributes.." - R
