The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali 1
Sutra I. 36 visoka va jyotismati

Or [concentration] through the cultivation of the inner light (jyotismati) of clear lucidity that knows no sorrow (visoka) [which removes the infirmities and darkness of the ordinary dualistic mind].

Commentary: In short looking/searching out, and listening for the light, hence bringing it in, the inner light which removes the darkness will lead. This is another simple method "of holding the space" while allowing for change. Clarifying the restless mind is to "re-mind" oneself of the innate light (prakasa) of self luminous clear lucidity within all things which liberates afflictions and suffering. All this will help create clarity, self confidence, remove obscurations and dross, and thus prepare the mind for meditation and samadhi. Here awareness is turned back into its Source. This magnifies the light exponentially. This sutra is a clear reference to an innate eternal unconditional joy and ultimate happiness that is not dependent upon events and our reactions to them or judgment. Make no mistake!
