The Source of Light

Obviously, if you could be enlightened by yourself, you would never be in the dark, because you are always with yourself.

Do not believe that you are a light to yourself. The Light is that which illumines every person coming into this world.

-- Commentary on Psalm 25 (2), 11

Prayer. Happiness is joy in the truth because it is joy in you, O Lord, who are truth, my light, my salvation, my God.

-- Confessions 10, 23
