It is foolish to curse darkness. What it needs is just lighting a lamp.The darkness will disappear of its own accord.
The darkness which has thickly covered the human life is born mainly out of ignorance, selfishness and ego. A smile on face and a little love in heart can light a lamp of humanity to dispel the pervading darkness.Similarly, more can be achieved on earth by smiling and not by complaining.
Diwali is a festival when we light candles to spread light but the true light of existence will descend upon earth when we light our hearts with the fire of Love .Fire may be hot but it burns impurities. Similarly, it pains first to burn our ego with love but the pain ushers a new life with expanded horizons.So the pain is worth bearing for a higher way of living.
HAPPY DIWALI...
With love
