Popular Deepavali Quotations
* Let this diwali burn all your bad times and enter you in good times.
* The truth is that existence wants your life to become a festival...because
when you are unhappy, you also throw unhappiness all around.
* Ram! The light of lights, the self-luminous inner light of the Self is ever
shining steadily in the chamber of your heart. Sit quietly. Close your eyes.
Withdraw the senses. Fix the mind on this supreme light and enjoy the real
Deepavali, by attaining illumination of the soul.
* He who Himself sees all but whom no one beholds, who illumines the intellect,
the sun, the moon and the stars and the whole universe but whom they cannot
illumine, He indeed is Brahman, He is the inner Self. Celebrate the real
Deepavali by living in Brahman, and enjoy the eternal bliss of the soul.
* The sun does not shine there, nor do the moon and the stars, nor do lightning
shine? All the lights of the world cannot be compared even to a ray of the inner
light of the Self. Merge yourself in this light of lights and enjoy the supreme
Deepavali.
* Many Deepavali festivals have come and gone. Yet the hearts of the vast
majority are as dark as the night of the new moon. The house is lit with lamps,
but the heart is full of the darkness of ignorance. O man! wake up from the
slumber of ignorance. Realize the constant and eternal light of the Soul which
neither rises nor sets, through meditation and deep enquiry.
* May you all attain full inner illumination! May the supreme light of lights
enlighten your understanding! May you all attain the inexhaustible spiritual
wealth of the Self! May you all prosper gloriously on the material as well as
spiritual planes!
