Inner Light Thanks you good sense

SRS,
why should it be represented as "Light"?. Because without light the eyes cannot perceive. The eyes perceive when objects reflect light. This is why the Self is represented as light. So the inner light is that by which "everything becomes perceptible". The other name is consciousness-awareness, without which there is no knowing. Everything is only chemical reactions including the phenomenon in the brain. But the inner light or sat-chit-ananda (Consciousness-awareness) is the one that is the perceiver, perceiving and perceived.
