Lailah Gifty AkitaGod within you is an inner light for self-realisation.
About This Quote
The true self is a light that shines from within. The true self is the same as the soul. Knowing that the true self is the same as the soul, one can know oneself as a part of God. The true self is not something separate from God.
It is God within you. The true self cannot be found outside of you. You cannot find it in an image or a statue or a picture.
You cannot find it in rituals or prayer or worship. You cannot find it in a place where you go. It is only when you have reached a state of realization that you can say that you have found the true self.
