In the great summary of the Bramha sutra , the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is its natural commentary , glow worms are mentioned.
In the 10th Canto , “the Autumn season chapter ” It is said that the rain clouds gather at twilight and the starlight is hampered by the darkening of the atmosphere.
At that time, glow worms thrive, providing a glimps of light that the moths may mistake for something substantial.
In the darkness of Kali yuga , the current age , the moon, and the starlight of the Vedas are covered by the darkness of cheating and hypocrisy. Demons , fools, and materially motivated persons take shelter of the glow worms of false doctrine of flawed politics, flawed philosophically orientated speculations, and flawed subjective sciences presented as fact based sciences.
Thus, scientific materialism, Darwinian hypothesis, impersonal philosophy tainted with voidism , and infiltrated democracies thrive , they all claim to give light .
But a glow worm can never be compared to the moon , and only moth like rascals flock around the artificial light of the glow worm . The glow worm fizzles out, and the artificial light it produced attracts only those who want to be cheated . The real light of knowledge and wisdom of the vedas can be only understood when the darkness of the illusory energies subside .
By God’s grace , He can remove His illusory energies that make a worm in stool think he is happy.
Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is very expert in explaining the whole process of seeing the light.
