1. (69) My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
²My grievances show me what is not there, and hide from me what I would see. ³Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? ⁴They keep me in darkness and hide the light. ⁵Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. ⁶To see, I must lay grievances aside. ⁷I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.
2. Specific applications for this idea might be made in these forms:
²Let me not use this as a block to sight. ³The light of the world will shine all this away. ⁴I have no need for this. ⁵I want to see.
