| English | And when cognitive obscurations are removed, then because there is no obstruction, the knowing light of yogic perception emerges, unimpeded anywhere—like a sunbeam through a sky whose covering of clouds has retreated. In this way, consciousness has the form of light upon the nature of things. But when there are obstructions, it doesn't illuminate anything at all, even things close at hand. When obstructions are absent, however, then upon gaining such inconceivable power, why indeed would it not illuminate every single thing just as it is? |
