What is the darkness?
#

A yearly festival of Deepavali has come People are wishing each other, Doing the shopping, giving gifts, and receiving gifts. People are lighting lamps so that the darkness around can be removed. This lamp will light for a few hours and days and remove the darkness around.

The lamp is radiating a physical light and dispatching away physical darkness. Physical is that which we can sense with our five senses.

Giving light to some dark room, dark street, dark home is a great gift on this occasion. This giving we do in the various forms like giving business, reviving the economy, showing compassion and care, etc.

But there are other kinds of darkness in our life. Hopelessness, Helplessness, negativity, jealousy, Fear of exploitation, injustice, oppression, slavery, Fear of physical, financial, and emotional insecurity Fear of loss of health, relation, reputation, and wealth Madness to show off, living a flamboyant lifestyle All are non-physical darkness of the human mind.

This Deepavali, May we light such lamp which can remove this darkness from ours and others’ life.

May we distribute such sweet which can dissolve the bitterness of relations around.

May we open our arms and hug those who are feeling dejected and alone.

May we light a lamp in our thinking which makes our home a happy place to live and not a godown to store lots of material and gifts where we don’t have a place to sit on the ground.

May we do all this not because we want to show off to others and selfie. Let us do it because we are serious for celebrating the festival of Deepavali Removing darkness and distributing sweetness.

O Chaitnya! may you get that wisdom in your awareness with which you can celebrate your true Deepavali.

Happy Deevapali
