That light which residing in the sun illumines the whole world, that which is in the moon and in the fire know that light to be Mine.

The radiance that lives in the sun and lights the whole world, the radiance in the moon and in fire: know that radiance to be mine.

Here begins a short passage in which Krishna shows his presence in the familiar powers of nature. The light of the sun that brightens the whole world, the soft light of the moon and the glow of fire all belong to him. Earlier in the chapter he said these lights do not illumine his highest abode. Now he adds that whatever light they have is his own. The two statements together present the divine as both beyond the world and present within it.
