Srimad Bhagavad-Gita

Chapter-15. Purushothama-yogam

Slokam -6.

-------------------------------------------------

Slokam-6.

"Na  tat  bhasayate  suryo  na  sasanko  na  pavakah,

yat  gatva  na  nivartante  taddhama  paramam  mama."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translation :

Tat  suryah  na  bhasayate  sasankah  na,  pavakah  na  =  sun  or  moon  or  fire  do  not  illuminate  that;  

yat  gatva  =  when  attained  that;

na  nivartante  =  then  there  will  be  no  return;

tat  mama  paramam  dhama  =  that  is  dsaid  to  be  "My  PARAMA-PADHAM."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tatvam ( Essence : of slokam-6.

"That abode of Mine is not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire. One who reaches it never returns to this material world."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discourse :

The light of illumination which manifests from the atma or immortal soul is what Lord Krishna is referring to here as well. 

As His transcendental spiritual body consists of the atmas of all jivas or embodied beings, He, His name, His abode and His pastimes are all illuminating. 

No sun or moon or fire can illuminate this; for it is spiritual wisdom that gives the light of consciousness. 

External luminosity is only able to dissolve the obscurity that intervenes between the senses perceiving their objects.What reveals the atma is called yoga or the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness. Antagonistic to yoga is karma which are subsequent reactions to previous actions and to conquer this formidable opponent which gains strength from every action performed; one must fully surrender unto the Supreme Lord and accept Him as one's only refuge. 

That all illuminating light emanates from Him, it is a part of His splendor as a power from Him. 

The sublime supremacy of this all illuminating light consists of its potency and efficiency in lighting the consciousness by spiritual wisdom. 

Sunlight no matter how bright, although capable of travelling for millions and billions of miles through space is never able to internally effect illumination in the consciousness as it is only an external phenomena.
