It is worth noting the comparison: dīpa-śikhā-ākāram, "shaped like a lamp's flame." This image is constant in yogic books, and it is worth saying why the flame in particular is chosen. A lamp's flame is remarkable for not flickering in still air; and the Gītā took the same image for a concentrated mind: yathā dīpo nivāta-stho neṅgate sopamā smṛtā, "as a lamp standing in a windless place does not flicker — such is the likeness given for the [mind] of one absorbed" (6.19).
It is worth noting that there the comparison is applied to the mind, and here to a place; but the image is the same. Let us add the promise: vāk-siddhi, "power over speech." We examined it when reading the Hayagrīva (2.p5) and said what is reasonable in this promise.
Let us repeat briefly: there is empty speech — that with which one speaks without intending to fulfill — and there is weighty speech, behind which stands a life; and the second comes true more often not because it works magic but because the speaker answers for it. That is, "power over speech" is the precise name for what happens to a person who has stopped lying: his word begins to hold. Let us add the word jñāna-netra, "eye of knowledge"; and it is worth noting that it is called netra, that is, an eye, and not light. An eye is what one looks at something else with; and so even here, in the description of the inward, the language presupposes an object outside the one looking.
