  • There is no vision of colour without the external light: even so it is with the colour of inward phantasy.
  • This outward (light) is (derived) from the sun and from Suhá, while the inward (light) is from the reflexion of the beams of (Divine) Glory. 1125
  • The light which gives light to the eye is in truth the light of the heart: the light of the eye is produced by the light of hearts.
  • Again, the light which gives light to the heart is the Light of God, which is pure and separate from the light of intellect and sense.
  • At night there was no light and thou didst not see the colours; then it (the light) was made manifest by the opposite of light (by darkness).
  • (First) comes the seeing of light, then the seeing of colour; and this thou knowest immediately by the opposite of light (darkness).
  • God created pain and sorrow for the purpose that happiness might be made manifest by means of this opposite. 1130
  • Hidden things, then, are manifested by means of their opposite; since God hath no opposite, He is hidden;
  • For the sight fell (first) on the light, then on the colour: opposite is made manifest by opposite, like Greeks and Ethiopians.
  • Therefore thou knewest light by its opposite: opposite reveals opposite in (the process of) coming forth.
