Sri Sri Ravishankar enlightens with his thoughts on Diwali

Here are the significant thoughts of Sri Sri Ravishankar on Diwali from his discourse on the topic. According to him, Diwali is Celebration of the light of wisdom.

~The rows of lights are lit on Diwali to remind you that every aspect of life needs your attention and the light of knowledge.

~Lights are lit on this day not just to decorate homes, but also to communicate a profound truth about life. Light dispels darkness and when the darkness within you is dispelled through the light of wisdom, the good wins over the evil in you.

~Bursting crackers is like a psychological exercise created by ancient people to release bottled-up emotions. When you see an explosion outside, you feel similar sensations within you as well. Along with the explosion, there is so much light. So when you let go of the suppressed emotions, you become hollow and empty and the light of knowledge dawns.

~Diwali celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.

~Any celebration has to be spiritual as a celebration without spirituality has no depth. Celebration is the nature of the spirit and every excuse to celebrate is good.

~In celebration, you should not only have a party; you must remind yourself of the wisdom. For the one who is not in knowledge, Diwali comes only once a year, but for the wise, Diwali is every moment and every day. Be wise and celebrate Diwali every moment and everyday of your life.

Light the lamp of wisdom in you, acquire knowledge. Awaken all the facets of your being.

HAPPY DIWALI!!
