Summary

This quote emphasizes the power of choice in perceiving and understanding the truth or enlightenment, often symbolized as "seeing the light." It suggests that individuals have the freedom to choose whether they want to explore and embrace knowledge, wisdom, and illumination or remain oblivious and unaware. While deciding to see the light is an active choice that allows personal growth and enlightenment, not seeing the light is portrayed as a lack of free will since it implies a passive acceptance of ignorance or darkness.
