Vedic Literature > Sandhya Mantrās > Meditation on the Supreme Light

Light is a popular symbol for knowledge and wisdom. Many would like to meditate on Light as a formless symbol of the Supreme Divine. Sri Aurobindo has revealed a mantra of the Gāyatri type for such a meditation.

tat savitur varam rūpam jyotiĥ parasya dhīmahi, yan naĥ satyena dīpayet.

Let us meditate on the most auspicious (best) form of Sāvitri, on the Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the supreme Truth.

Explanation:

We meditate upon that Light which is the best, the most auspicious Form of the  Supreme person, Savitri the creator. That (Light) is His body accessible to yogic vision. That Supreme splendour of Savitri shall illumine us Truth, with a constant state of being in separate from the Supreme Sat and its Light.
