Its basically saying that even though the candle is little, its light still brightens the darkness.

It is a simile comparing the light of a candle in the darkness to the societal worth of a good, noble or selfless act. The candlelight can be seen from a distance. A good deed travels a great distance by influencing the actions or conditions of another, who then might do a good act as well.
A good deed “brightens” the world.

The candle’s light [[the good deed]] can brighten the darkness [[the bad world]]
a simple good deed can bring good and show others the way

The darker the room, the brighter that one little candle is. Have you ever lit a candle in a room with the lights on and then turned out all the lights and how much brighter that candle seems? It’s about how doing something good stands out against all the evil.

i think it means , just like a candle’s beam doesnot shine far/long , likewise a good deed goes largely unnoticed in this world.
