DEEPAVALI MESSAGE
On this Deepavali Day, we are busy lighting candles to spread light around us. But we have to consider ourselves when will be a candle?
The candle gives light and in the process, burns itself. When shall we likewise?
The Sufi mystic Rabia once sent three things to Hasan – a piece of wax, a needle and a hair.
Hasan could not get the message. And Rabia explained to him: “Like wax light up the world by burning yourself. Like a needle stitch garment for others while you remain naked. And make your ego thin as a hair, so that you may not even be aware of the good you have done.”
Have a meaningful Deepavali this time!
