Look up tonight. The moon glows, and tomorrow the sun will blaze. They seem like opposites, but both are light, and within that light is the One, beyond compare. Think about it the way a careful thinker would: every star, every tree, every person you pass is held inside that same light. It is like one lamp filling a whole room. When you see it, you bow, the way you might stop still in front of a glittering diamond. And then you run out of words. The One is stainless and too wonderful to describe. At the centre, the Rahao: think deeply about the One, because the whole universe is spread out within that one light.
