Light shines on nature revealing 3 qualities. Its ability to absorb and reflect light.
Its vibration and constant change and its shape and density. This and the elements
are perceived through the five senses, engaged with the five organs of action and
considered with the mind. Nature's pleasures can seduce the seer unless the seer
remains disengaged for the sake of liberation and freedom.
