आत्मदीपो भव।
Aatmadeepo Bhav - be your own light
Truth is light. Awareness is light. Everyone has to have their own light. Ignorance is the darkness of not knowing. To come out of your ignorance, darkness, you need a ray of hope in the form of light. Only you can enlighten yourself through your own efforts. Knowledge removes the darkness of ignorance in life and makes life a joyful experience. We remain depressed in life due to lack of knowledge. Not knowing about something can make you feel depressed in life.
Each and every person has a dormant switch inside his being which when switched on will make them come out of their darkness by lighten up their life and they get enlightened about their own self and everything around them, it is just a matter of realization. Realization is the key for self transformation. The day or the moment you realize and come out of your darkness in life, you free yourselves to transform yourselves into an Enlightened Being. An Enlightened Being is the one who is awake and lives life consciously and goes in the path of light and charts his own destiny.
We have a festival of light, Diwali, in India. Diwali or Deepavali is a festival celebrated for banishment of the darkness of ignorance from our lives to illuminate the path to prosperity, glory, and happiness. Diwali is a festival which dispels the darkness of ignorance, which is the root cause of all of our sorrows.
Initially, you need a guide to lead you and follow him until you discover your own guiding light deep inside your being, Once you realize, you will be your own light in your life. Guidance is required in the beginning and then you will be on your own once you come to realization of your own light deep inside your being. Every one can and nobody cannot, if not in this life, the succeeding cycle of life. Only when you put your full effort in that direction you will get enlightened in life. You have to overcome your dark phase of life by your self by your own effort. It starts with effort but ends with no effort. Once you are enlightened, you will live rest of your life effortlessly and gloriously with full gratitude towards the existence.
Discovering the connectedness of the universe is the ultimate goal of enlightenment. Enlightenment makes you reconnect to the universal force, the nature. External influence made you disconnect yourself from being natural. You got disconnected over the course of time in pursuit of your desired objective goals in external life and once you realize and become enlightened about it, you reestablish your connection with the nature.
Spirituality is the path to understand your subjectivity. It is a path to realize your true self. The quality of being yourselves is what matters the most. Spirituality takes you in the path of self realization and be your own light for life.
Embrace Spirituality
Be your own light to enlighten yourself
Celebrate Life
