Kṛṣṇa identifies Himself as the ultimate source of all light and energy in the universe. He points to the three most prominent sources of illumination in the material world: the sun, the moon, and fire. He declares that the radiance which dissipates the darkness of the entire world and allows us to see is actually His own ‘Tejas’ or splendor. This verse is meant to help us practice constant God-consciousness in our daily environment. Usually, we take the sunrise or the moonlight for granted as mere physical phenomena. Kṛṣṇa invites us to look deeper. When we see the sun, we are actually seeing a localized spark of Kṛṣṇa’s energy. When we see the moon’s cooling rays, we are witnessing His grace. By acknowledging God as the source of light, we turn every morning into a spiritual experience. Light represents knowledge and life, while darkness represents ignorance and death. Kṛṣṇa is the original ‘Light of lights’ that makes perception possible. Knowing this, a seeker can never feel lost in the dark because they recognize the Lord’s signature in every beam of light.
