Bhagavad Gita 15.12 · Krishna
The light in sun, moon and fire
यदादित्यगतं तेजो जगद्भासयतेऽखिलम्।
यच्चन्द्रमसि यच्चाग्नौ तत्तेजो विद्धि मामकम्॥
yadādityagataṃ tejo jagadbhāsayate’akhilamyaccandramasi yaccāgnau tattejo viddhi māmakam
The brilliance in the sun that lights the whole world, the light in the moon and in fire, know that brilliance as Mine.
What it means
Krishna points to light. The radiance of the sun that lights up the whole world. The soft glow of the moon. The flame of a fire. All of that brightness, he says, is his. He's not saying the sun is God. He's saying every light we see borrows its shine from the divine.
The story
Dawn is breaking over the battlefield. Arjuna can feel the sun on his face. Krishna tells him that warmth is a touch from the same source teaching him now.
In your life
Think of the first warm spring morning after a long winter, when you stood still just to feel the sun. Step into some daylight today, and take one slow breath in it.
Every light borrows its shine from the divine.
