Ott megáll, el sem csúszik, le sem esik. Ugyanígy kell értelmednek áradni és szétömleni: de nem kiapadni, hanem folyton sugárzani - a szembenálló akadályokra nem erőszakosan vagy szenvedélyesen ráfeszülni, nem esni le, hanem ott maradni, és azt, ami a fénye számára hozzáférhető, megvilágítani. Ami pedig visszautasítja, az maga magát fosztja meg a fénytől.
