Going to Home for Diwali Celebration

Going to Home for Diwali Celebration

Guruji's Diwali Message!

Diwali is lighting:
The lamp of love in one's heart;
The lamp of abundance in one's home;
The lamp of compassion to serve others;
The lamp of Knowledge to dispel darkness

Every lamp that you light is symbolic of a good quality. There are good qualities in every human being. Some have forbearance, some have love, strength, generosity; others have the ability to accept all as one' own, yet others have a scientific temperament that will uplift humanity; and others
have the ability to unite people from all religions. A latent talent is a lamp. When latent talents awaken, that is Diwali.

Don't be satisfied with simply lighting one lamp; light a thousand. Eg. If you are a good sevak, don't be satisfied only with that; light the lamp of wisdom in you. Acquire knowledge. If you are interested in acquiring knowledge, don't limit yourself only to that. Take an interest in the
creative arts, in dance, music etc.

Do you know why we do aarti? It is so that light of our life always rotates around the Divine.

Do you know why we burst crackers? We suppress many emotions within ourselves; cravings, aversions, hatred or too much attachment and we reach bursting point. When there are a lot of worries, people say, "I feel my head is going to burst." If there is a lot of sorrow, people say, "My heart is going to burst."

Knowing this experience, the ancient people said that when you see an explosion outside, you feel similar sensations within you as well. Along with the explosion, there is so much light. Similarly by lighting the crackers, when there is an explosion outside, you release the suppressed emotions and become hollow and empty. You become free and are able to celebrate the festival and distribute sweets. The darkness is dispelled, light has come into the house, and joy spreads. This is a festival of joy.


Sri Sri..

SURRENDER

Krishna tells ti Arjuna , " You are very Dear to me ", and then he tells Arjuna that he must surrender . Surrender begins with an assumption . You must assume that you are the most beloved of the Divine and then Surrender happens.

The choice is your Destiny . Krishna does not tell Arjuna in the beginning that he must Surrender .
First he say ," You are so Dear to me ," And then he tells him, " There is no other choice for you , You must surrender . Either you do it now, or you do it later,"
This is path of Love

Promise

If I had to promise you something, what would it be?



I can’t promise that you would always be comfortable…

Because comfort brings boredom and discomfort.



I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled…

Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration.



I can’t promise that there will always be good times…

Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy.



I can’t promise that we will be rich or famous or powerful…

Because they can all be pathways to misery.



I can’t promise that we will always be together…

Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful.



Yet if you are willing to walk with me,

If you are willing to value love over everything else ~



I promise that this will be the most rich and fulfilling life possible.

I promise your life will be an eternal celebration,

I promise you I will cherish you more than a king cherishes his crown,

And I shall love you more than a mother loves her newborn.



If you are willing to walk into my arms,

If you are willing to live in my heart,

You will find the one you have waited forever….

You will meet yourself in my arms…

I promise.
