The people of Ayodhya
Lit up the entire city
To welcome Rama the victor.
It was then.
Now,
For an individual like me,
The ‘Festival of Lights’
Is to know the flame within
That glows eternally
So that “I” too may attain
Victory over Ravana
- The symbol of evil -
That also dwells within
Like a shadow
And manifests
In the form of
Anger, Carnality, Attachment, Greed and Enmity.
Unless I as an individual
Am not able to conquer these passions
Until then
I cannot truly celebrate
Diwali -
‘The Festival of Lights.’

the festival of lights on he blog of darkness???
i strongly object to the title blog of darkness...this blog represents deep thoughts not dark....here i share deepest of my feelings and also what i feel and see around me...which perhaps most people are not comfortable sharing.
