"Life is always chasing the divine light, but whoever regards it as divine light will sink into the bottomless sea of suffering." What does this sentence mean?

Life is always chasing the illusory light, that is to say, people are pursuing the illusory light all their lives. Money, status, fame and face alone. And whoever regards the divine light as divine light will fall into a sea of suffering.

"divine light" is a symbol of dreams and hopes. Although it is so far away, there is such a magical lamp in people's hearts that they are chasing it all their lives, even if it is finally shattered. The long pursuit process is the course of life.

Although this kind of thing should not be pursued all our lives, we regard it as a hollow thing. If we don't pursue it, we will sink into the sea of suffering. In short, the fame and fortune that people pursue all their lives are empty, but you regard them as empty. If you don't pursue it, you will be tortured by reality.
