The Moon has no inherent light of its own, the stars are sources of enormous quantities of light. But Starlight is so hazy and indistinct that it is as bad as non existent,whereas the moon with borrowed light is able to help man much more and to brighten his nights with a delighting quantum of light. The Secret is the nearness of the moon to the source of light, the Sun, and to those who need it, namely , mankind on earth. The Stars are too far off from either, to be of any service. And, of what use is all that brilliance if what they can offer is just a trickle ?

God is more than a billion suns but, if you are far away from Him, you cannot have either the warmth or the light. Ofcourse,with God it is not special distance that counts:one has to endear himself to God.
