HAPPY DIWALI
May this occasion of Diwali festival take away your misunderstanding (darkness), if there is any, about the “LIFE AS SUCH” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diwali/Dipawali is one of the unique festivals of India which has also a spiritual background/message like any other festival.
This is also known as festival of lights.
Basically all festivals are reminders of specific messages relevant to life “as such”, the enlightened/awakened ones wanted to convey and were linked to God/Goddesses/religions for their continuity as tradition.
But unfortunately the festivals continued but the background and the messages of all the festivals of the world have been forgotten and Diwali is not an exception.
Diwali is celebrated on no moon night (called Amavasya as per Hindu calendar).
People burn lights in different manners/forms for the whole night and all the doors and windows of house are kept open.
Lately bursting cracker was also added to this festival which has created nuisance of highest level.
Now coming to the spiritual aspect of this festival, symbolically the day called “Amavasya (no moon night)” represents our darkness i.e. having “no or wrong ideas/clues” about the life “as such” or in other words having misunderstanding of various aspects of life “as such”.
However, in having this darkness no effort was made, but in order to erase the misunderstandings (darkness) some effort “appears” to be made and that effort is nothing but symbolically represented by lighting in the night.
The message is when light (eradication of darkness which is nothing but absence of light) happens everything starts falling in line i.e. misunderstanding is replaced by the happening of the understanding that “everything is as it should have been in the moment” or “everything is happening on its own accord” or “there is no doer although doing appears to be happening” or “idea of separation is altogether false/appearance”……like that.
But for happening of this understanding, better to say “happening of knowing” the only requirement is perhaps “somehow” becoming/remaining open which is represented symbolically by keeping the doors and windows of the house (mind) open for the whole night i.e. so long as darkness is there.
