What a better day than this to realize that
Money can buy us opulence but not happiness
It can get us conveniences but no satisfaction
It can bring us to friends but not friendship
It can arrange for servants but not trust
It can get us people but no relationships
It can ensure a secured future but no guarantee for a meaningful lifetime.
On this diwali let us light the lamp within
That removes the darkness from inside
That allows us to look beneath the surface
to see beyond the tangible, the measureable but the perishable
to recognise the real, the true, the imperishable
the love, the warmth, the unconditional, the non judgemental,
that is who is our own, that is what is our own,
and will always be….
Light up the lamp that is YOU,
Light up your soul
Remove the negativity
Shed the insecurities
Fill up the cups that make the YOU
Open your eyes and see the clarity
That is so empowering and so securing
And is So everlasting……
This is for my companion in life and beyond,
Always remain lit up like the lamp
Spreading the beautiful light across
Giving warmth to everyone who is in the vicinity
Braving all the storms and rains each time
Burning strong and bright
Touching so many souls always
Inspiring all of us to stand on our own lights
Never mind if there is darkness right under the lamp itself
So what if the nearer ones have misty lenses in their eyes
Who cannot see and understand the simplicity and brilliance
With which your light burns and enlightens
Always remain lit up like the lamp
The lamp of Diwali !!!
