Quotation sobre Salmos 36:10

Then he continues, “For with Thee is the fountain of life; In Thy light do we see light,” by which he means to say that there is no obstacle in the way of attaining this wonderful pleasure from the fact that the divine attributes and perfections are eternal, while human beings are not, for “with Thee is the fountain of life,” and it is in Thy power to give them eternal life. Nor is there any hindrance in the fact that they have not the capacity to receive such mighty pleasure, for Thy great power is able to endow them with capacity and force to receive it, for “In Thy light do we see light,” i. e. even the things perceived by our senses we can not know except through the lovingkindness which comes from Thee. For light itself we can not see, our vision is dimmed by it. It is the divine light which gives us the power to perceive light partially and enables our vision to pass from potentiality to actuality. This is why he says, “do we see light,” and not “do we see the light,” because we can see only a part of it and not the whole.
