Oh, te sientes tan feliz, estás tan complacido/a con esa visión. Después, sales de esa meditación, abres la ventana y permites que la luz del sol inunde tu cuarto. Es totalmente posible que no experimentes esa luz solar como "espiritual" también.

This is another feature of Tantricism. Man, universe, gods and ritual are not considered separate entities but rather different manifestations of the same Śakti. Therefore, during a particular ritual every element of it is symbolic of something else. The flowers are representative of something else, the incense is representative of something else and so on. This viewpoint is based upon the crucial teaching that "worldly and spiritual" are the two faces of a same coin. One often thinks that "spirituality" is associated with something which is "within", while "worldliness" is associated with something which is "without". So, if you see a light "within", that is a "spiritual" experience, while if you see a light "without", that is a "worldly" experience. Besides, the worldliness is based on "day-to-day experiences". It is approximately so. For example, you are meditating and, all of a sudden, a blue dot appears in front of you. Oh, you feel so happy, you are so pleased with that vision. Afterward, you come out of that meditation, open the windows and let the sunlight flood your room. It is really possible that you will not experience that sunlight as "spiritual" too. Why? Because it is "without" and you see it every day. Thus, your mind thinks of it as a "mundane" manifestation. However, Tantricism considers all to be the manifestation of Śakti, the Divine Mother. So, an external light is as spiritual as an internal one and vice versa. In fact, there is neither spirituality nor worldliness because only one Supreme Consciousness is permeating everything and everyone. Got it?
