He is using a like/as example with "my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light" and if he is using the suns light as a metaphorical thing and the light represents purity or intelligence then he is saying he is very logical and knows what is going on.

It's not a simile or metaphor. Compared to what? The sentence is a fragment.

He who gives to himself entirely to his fellow man, gives entirely to himself.
That would be parallel.

Explanation:

When the Cyclops attacks Odysseus and his men, Odysseus' first impulse is to attack and kill him to ensure the group's survival. However, they were inside the Cyclops' cave that closed the exit with a very heavy stone, impossible to be removed by humans. Only the Cyclops would be able to open that "door" and if Odysseus killed him, he and his crew would be trapped forever.
