The Hindu scriptures have always regarded the Sun as the visible presence of Brahman, the Absolute Reality. The worship of the Sun has been common among all traditions founded in the land of Bharat.
Lord Krishna, pointing out the Sun to Arjuna, proclaims, "Just as the single Sun illumines this whole world of objects, the Self, the Consciousness which is the Knower of the field, illumines the whole world referred to as the field."
It's important to understand the difference between the illuminator and the illumined. The Sun illuminates the objects and thus we are able to see. Similarly, the mind illumines the sense perceptions; the thoughts in the mind are also known, but by what? By the Self, the self-resplendent Consciousness!
Recognizing that Consciousness is the ultimate seer and always remains distinct from the ever-changing world of matter releases one from the bondage and attachment to the matter, leading to the state of liberation!
