I heard

Diminishing the light is its correction. That is, nothing is achieved without an effort. Because it is impossible to obtain the complete light in utter clarity, the advice is to diminish the light. In this way, it is possible to obtain it with the little effort that the lower one can make.

This is similar to one who wishes to move a big building; of course, this is impossible. So what does he do? He takes the building apart into small bricks, and he can move each piece. So it is here: Through diminishing the light, one can make a small effort.
