Darkness is not something that can be physically removed. But when we let in light, darkness automatically ceases to exist. In the same way, when true knowledge awakens, the darkness of ignorance disappears. Then we awaken to eternal light.
Catching the light and falling into dark
And the world fades out like an overheard remark…
In the falling dark
Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands between darkness and light.
Each dream remembered is a burning-glass,
Where through to darkness from the Light of Lights
Its rays in splendour pass.
Here are two kinds of light, the light on the hither side of the darkness and the light beyond the darkness.
Darkness may cover light, but that is not the same thing as putting it out. Whereas, to overcome darkness, all light need do is to exist.
We must pass through the darkness, to reach the light.
There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing — light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can't stick the dark into the light.
There's an ocean of darkness and I drown in the night
till I come through the darkness to the ocean of light,
for the light is forever and the light it is free,
"And I walk in the glory of the light," said he.
Without hatred where's the light?
Without darkness where's the love?
