THE LIGHT
Clean acts are as explicit as light. They reveal themselves spontaneously. Fear of detection is not there. The face beams with delight when good deeds are resorted to.
Thieves dare not burgle into houses full of light. Darkness is their sphere. Even so base thoughts spring up in minds enshrouded in ignorance. When the heart is full of the light of wisdom undesirable thoughts do not steal in. Man is safe when the light within is shining steadily.
The lamp in the hand reveals the things outside. When shall I have the light within for self-revelation?
