That, the Light of all lights, is said to be beyond darkness: knowledge, the knowable and the goal of knowledge, seated in the hearts of all.

It is the light even of lights and is said to be beyond darkness. It is knowledge, what is to be known, and what is reached by knowledge, seated in the heart of all.

Brahman is called the light of all lights and is said to lie beyond darkness. The sun, the moon and fire give light, but the awareness by which they are seen is a deeper light still. Brahman is also knowledge itself, the object of knowledge, and the goal reached through knowledge. These three are normally separate, but here they meet in one. Finally, Brahman is seated in the heart of every being. The vast reality described in the preceding verses is not distant: the one who seeks it carries it within.
