The darkness of light and the light of darkness


Pranava Pravaaham  - The Surge of Aum 

By Kavingnar Perumal Rasu

Rendered in English by Vamanan


Light, I thought, My Lord, illumines things.

Then the light came adazzling, and I could not see a thing.

At dawn, I welcomed the sun with a glad heart as it drove away the darkness, but lo! along with the darkness were gone all the stars.

The sun which dissipates the darkness also draws the blinds on the many worlds of the heavens.

There is darkness in light and there is light in darkness. My Lord, it is you who give eyes to light, and it is you who give sight to darkness. The Light of all lights, the true light of consciousness…Shine thee in my heart!
