When a match is struck against the matchbox, it catches fire. But, where is the fire? Is it in the matchstick or the matchbox? In fact, the fire is latent in both. It is when they come in contact that ignition results. Similarly, the effulgence latent in the heart and mind emerges as Divinity when the heart and mind act in unison. Just as the fire latent in the matchbox and matchstick is one only, the effulgence encased in the mind and heart is the same.
