This inner light is the essence of who we are. It is this pure light that illuminates all of a person's actions, that can never be blemished, and from where the repair of the consciousness begins. One may not touch this light of the soul, just as one cannot touch the pure light of G-d, one may only gaze upon it. But in its illumination, one perceives how G-d's presence gives life and meaning to all creation. We can describe this concept in another way.
Every person has something in life that they consider sacred.
Some point that they will not touch, a line that they will not cross. It may be a point of conscience or of inner knowledge. It is the place where the sacred manifests itself in our lives. This light must be preserved and sanctified. It is the precious inner secret of who we are, that is not open to disclosure.
