Nature’s Diwali

On the dark, moonless night of the month of Kartik, rows of lamps flutter fearlessly, cutting through the abject darkness. This humble act represents the greatest law of Nature; that darkness can only be dispelled by light. Darkness of ignorance and tamasic inertia are hardest to overcome. Only awareness, dhyan and action in the right direction can uplift the human being towards ‘enlightenment.’  Shadows appear when there is resistance to light, and these become less significant as light emerges.
