A person who has not even witnessed their own inner essence or splendor can never behold the divine light of God.
This couplet touches on a profound mystical truth: one cannot truly perceive the Divine without first awakening to the sacred spark within oneself. 'Tajalli' speaks of that dazzling, transcendent radiance of God, but the poet gently reminds us that if we remain blind to our own soul's depth and beauty, we have no mirror to catch that higher light. The search for the ultimate truth doesn't begin in the heavens, but in the quiet discovery of our own being.
