"Let there be light"

The first commandment is not about photons or the luminous images of vivid imaginations. It is not a prohibition of improper behavior. It promises no wrath.

Instead, "Let there be light" is a description of the path to Divinity. It is a recipe for action.

It is a demand for the energized output of goodness.

This first commandment is not aimed at the void, it is aimed at our hearts.

Polish the mirror

Perhaps you are an atheist. That is an honorable approach. But don't stop now. Go further and clean your path to the Real.

Sufis say when you know yourself you will know God, and when you know God you will know yourself.

I trust you will do both. You are the great soul who has the wisdom to douse your atheism with the same bucket you washed away old notions of Divinity.

The method of enlightenment, they say, is to polish the mirror.

I see the scouring cloth in your hand.
