Isaiah 60:2 Meaning For

Look honestly at the world and you see a deep unconsciousness covering it, a collective darkness in which people move as if asleep, driven by fear and wanting, causing suffering without knowing why. This is the gross darkness upon the people. It is real, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise.

Yet darkness has no power to prevent light. In the midst of it, presence can arise in a single human being like a rising sun. When you awaken from the dream of the thinking mind, consciousness itself begins to shine through you. This is the glory seen upon you: not something you achieve or display, but the natural radiance of a person who has become present while the world around them still sleeps.

The darkness here is not only the world's night but the film of pride and heedlessness that dulls the inner eye. A person can sit in that fog for years, mistaking it for how things are, blaming the world for a blindness that is really the heart's own rust.

The light that will rise is not made by the one it shines on; it dawns the way morning fills a window only turned toward it. The cure is that turning. Then a worn face becomes the place where a borrowed glory is seen.
