Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Sai News Source: Radio Sai web site From the very name of today's festival - Deepavali, it can be inferred that the Divine effulgence is manifest in it. Deepavali means "the array of lights.Thamasomaa jyotirgamaya" (Lead me from darkness to light) is an Upanishadic prayer. This means that where there is darkness light is needed. What is this darkness? Sorrow is one form of darkness. Lack of peace is another. Disappointment is one form of darkness. Lack of enthusiasm is yet another. All these are different forms of darkness. To get rid of the darkness of sorrow, you have to light the lamp of happiness. To dispel the darkness of disease, you have to install the light of health. To get over the darkness of losses and failures, you have to usher in the light of prosperity.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today9th November 2007, Deepavali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
