Intensity of light
“Different”
Light is everywhere in daily life. There are different intensities of light in daily life. The different intensities of light are sun-light, which includes the different radiations within visible light.
Radio-waves, micro-waves, infrared-rays are different intensities of light and are not visible. Ultra-violet rays, X-rays and gamma rays are different intensities of light, but these intensities of light are not visible either.
Electrons, neutrons and protons too are different intensities of light, which are particles within any atom. These particles are beliefs that have no mass, meaning weight, but nevertheless are different intensities of light. They are not visible light.
Now, every atom of whatever that exists on earth is light. This is basically everything that is seen in visible light, for example, elements, matter, objects, vegetation, animal kingdom and human beings. Atoms too are not visible light.
There are different types of elements that exist. A certain, particular type of element makes up matter, object, vegetation, animal kingdom and human beings. This signifies that every type of element is a reflection of a particular intensity of light, because every atom of an element is light.
There are different types of seeds. A certain, particular type of seed makes up vegetation. This signifies that every type of seed is a reflection of a particular intensity of light, because every atom of a seed is light.
There are different types of flowers. A certain, particular type of seed makes up a particular flower. This signifies that every type of flower is a reflection of a particular intensity of light, because every atom of a flower is light.
There are different colours and fragrance in flowers. A certain, particular type of seed makes up a particular flower. This signifies that different colours in flower and fragrance are a reflection of a particular intensity of light, because every atom of a flower is light.
There are different types of fruit. A certain, particular type of seed makes up a particular type of fruit. This signifies that different types of fruits are a reflection of a particular intensity of light, because every atom of a fruit is light.
There are different colours, smell, taste and consistency in fruits. A certain, particular type of seed makes up a particular fruit. This signifies that different colours, smell, taste and consistency in fruits are a reflection of a particular intensity of light, because every atom of a fruit is light.
There are different types of animals. A certain, particular type of animal seed makes up a particular type of animal. This signifies that different types of species in the animal kingdom, their behaviour and different sounds that they make are a reflection of a particular intensity of light. This is because every atom of an animal seed and body grown from the seed of any species in the animal kingdom is light.
There are different human beings. A certain, particular type of human seed makes up a particular type of a human being. This signifies that every human being, behaviour, language spoken, thoughts had and actions, albeit illusory, that are done are a reflection of a particular intensity of light. This is because every atom of a human seed and body grown from the human seed is light.

Editor’s Note:
On the stage of daily life, everything animate and inanimate that appears is taken by the human mind to be an expression of actuality and all the actions are accordingly believed to be the product of human endeavour and thought. So appearance, gifted by the intelligence of life, is evidence of reality. There is no argument or disputation here. Until that is, until the light of understanding is offered by the wise, as in this article. Thus, light is the essence of all that exists, whose countless expressions are each a reflection of the intensity of that light. Understanding this is the road to enlightenment.

German Translator’s Note:
Anyone in search of enlightenment has heard the statement of the enlightened that life is oneness. The question that everyone asks is, how can this oneness have so many different appearances? Dr. Shankar shows in this article how the oneness of life is basically light and the many manifestations are reflections of that one light. An insight that combines cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom.
