In him was life; and the life was the
light of men.
"And the
light shineth
in
darkness;
and the
darkness
comprehended it not." (John 1:4-5)
<1>Raja
guna is the
energy (life-force)
in the universe. <2>When this
energy (prana) is
directed to higher things or
God, it becomes the
Light of the
consciousness. <3>It resides in all things in the universe, "In him was
life, and the life was the
light of men."
<4>Because of the influence of the
tama guna (darkness),
although it is present even in
darkness and human
consciousness, it cannot be comprehended. The
ego prevents this
Light and life to be
seen by man, "And the
light shineth in
darkness; and the
darkness
comprehended it not."
