The Sun, itself, receives its light borrowed from the Infinite, Ever-Effulgent Self. Kathopanishad describing the Self as the Light or Consciousness declares, “When He shines all else shines after Him.”
620. Vijitaatmaa - One who has conquered the sense-organs. That devotee who is no more a slave to his sense-organs comes to experience the necessary mental quiet with which Narayana, the Self, can be apprehended.
621. Vidheyaatmaa - One who has come to live under the command of the Higher Self or One Who is ever available for devotees to command in love. Some read this as “A-Vidheya-Atmaa” -in which case it declares that Narayana is “One Who is of Unfathomable Nature-Divine.” One who obeys none, but all obey His Will is “ A-Vidheyaatmaa.”

623. Chhinnasamsayah - One, whose doubts are ever at rest, or solved. Doubts regarding the Supreme can be only so long as we try to experience and comprehend Him with our Intellect. He is the very subjective vitality in the Intellect. So, on transcending the Intellect, the seeker can “become” the Self in a non-mediate experience, intimate and immediate. Once having become the Self, there cannot be any spiritual doubts. Therefore Narayana, the Self, is known as “The One in whom all doubts are resolved.” In Geeta, Arjuna admits that all his doubts were cleared.
