Appearing great due to association with the great

Sometimes by association of the great, one appears great. Just like the sun is great heat and light, and by reflecting the greatness of the sun’s light the moon in dead of night also appears great, but actually the moon is by nature dark and cold, but in association with sun it has become accepted as great.

From Srila Prabhupada’s letter to Jahnava — Bhaktivedanta Manor 1 August, 1973
