He is the source of light in all luminous objects. He is beyond the darkness of matter and is unmanifested. He is knowledge, He is the object of knowledge, and He is the goal of knowledge. He is situated in everyone's heart.

JOURNAL:

Here is one of my favorite definitions of God; God is light. In his purport Srila Prabhupada writes; It is clearly stated in the Vedic literature that because of His luminous effulgence, everything is illuminated. According to modern science all we see is reflected light. We do not actually see the objects, just light reflecting off of them. Thus, if God is light, then all of us, at all times, are seeing God.
