In the Bulgarian original text, here we have the word “Videlina”. According to Master Peter Deunov, “Videlina is the most real thing in the world. Videlina is an inner process. It is a thousand times more real than this world: it creates human thoughts and desires, it is a mediator in the Spiritual World, and it exists in the form of the present ether; it is an envelope of the human Spirit and human mind, so no one can possibly think or feel without Videlina. Videlina is a compound of that Divine element which refers to the human mind, which makes us think intelligently, wisely, have logic, content, and sense in our thought. Light is a reflection of Videlina. Videlina is the inner side, whereas Light is the outer side. Videlina is that which sustains the human Spirit, giving it strength and power. Videlina is the healthy state of human mind: it is the atmosphere in which humans ought to live constantly. Videlina is that which uplifts things and makes them grow up and develop themselves… more properly.” The translator has eventually come up with the approximate phrase of “Divine Dawning Light” – ed.
