“Grandfather, why is the sun YELLOW?”

“Loook at a ray of sunlight as it passes through a raindrop. What do you see?”

“Oh, Grandfather! I see a beautiful rainbow.”

“Yes. Each ray of sunlight contains a rainbow of colors. Then, why do we see only one color, instead of a rainbow?

“First, let’s journey with the sun from the first rays of the morning to the last rays of the evening. Earth is enfolded in darkness until the first rays awaken another glorious day. A crimson sphere appears, and its rays tint the underside of the clouds with dazzling colors. Slowly, the crimson color gives way to a brilliant yellow, which illumines the noonday sky. The last rays paint the face of the sun with a flaming orange until darkness again enfolds the Earth.

“And so it is, the sun makes the same journey each day, as it has from the beginning of time. The colors and patterns, however, change each day, and are as varied as the children of Earth.

“You see, my child, the Sun bathes the Earth in a steady beam of light, which contains all the colors of the rainbow. Each child of Earth reflects only a part of the light. That reflection is the color we see.

“Now, look within the rainbow. Tell me about the yellow ray.”

“It is the brightest of all the colors, Grandfather.”

“Like the ray of sunlight which is one with the sun, so are we one with the Creator. Like the rainbow, which expresses all the colors of the ray of sunlight, so do we come to Earth to express all the qualities of our being. When we feel separate from the Creator, it is because we are reflecting only one aspect of our being, like one color of the rainbow.

“The yellow lights our way to the center of our being. It is there we draw near to the heart of the Creator. From the center, we clearly see both the ray of sunlight and the rainbow …. our oneness and our uniqueness.

“So, you see my child, when we look at Grandfather Sun from within the center of our being, we see the pure light and wisdom of the Creator.”
