+\textbf{22. The luminosity of Âtman consits in the manifestation of all objects. Its luminosity is not$^1$ like that of fire or any such thing, for (in spite of the presence of such lights) darkness prevails at night (at some place or other).}
+
+{\small \textit{$^1$Its luminosity is not, etc} --- The light of Âtman is
+unlike any other light. Ordinary lights are opposed to darkness and are limited
+in their capacity to illumine things. It is a common experience that where
+there is darkness there is no light; and darkness always prevails at some place
+or other, thus limiting the power of illumination of such lights. Even the
+light of the sun is unable to dispel darkness at some places. But the light of
+Âtman is ever present at all places. It illumines everything and is opposed to
+nothing, not even to darkness; for it is in and through the light of Âtman,
+which is present in everybody as consciousness, that one comprehends darkness
+as well as light and all other things.}
