And if we look at it from still another angle we shall see the three aspects of light at work in the action of seeing: the light that sees, the radiance of the object that shows itself, and the light of the sun that falls upon it, making it clear to our view. If we look at it from a mental point of view we can again distinguish three aspects: the knower, the knowledge, and the knowing faculty; it is these three that bring about the action of knowing. And when we look at it in the light of love we see it, as has been said by the Sufis of all ages, as love, the lover, and the beloved.
