Summary

This quote emphasizes that God is not merely a concept or an intellectual pursuit, but a direct understanding that is self-evident and innate. It suggests that God is not something to be discovered through logical reasoning alone, but rather a truth that is instantly perceived, comparable to how light is inherently and unequivocally recognized. God is not hidden or inaccessible; instead, He is the very source of enlightenment and understanding.
