The commandments of God enlighten. Here, this enlightenment is not so much an environment in which one walks or moves through, but that God's commandments provide understanding or give mental perception of something. What does the mind perceived? Truth, which results in more effective and better judgment in how to conduct one's life.
Many would think to look into it, but the message has to be revealed. The angel did not reveal it to Daniel, and the angel has not yet revealed it to anybody. He does say that it will be given to the "wise," and the wise are described elsewhere in the Bible as "those who keep the commandments of God."
