Time that has gone by, whether good or bad, is now your past. It will never come calling at your door again. Hence, it is futile to live in the past. But every second of your past has undoubtedly left an indelible print on your mind and has taught you an ever-lasting lesson that you should never forget.
May this festival of lights illuminate each one of you with positivity, optimism, hope and happiness. As you light ‘diyas’ at your home today, allow their light to dispel the darkness of negativity, pessimism, fear and frustration that resides within you. Identify with the light of the lamps.
Remember, your soul is nothing but light. Absorb this knowledge and let the radiance of your soul glow and light up not only your life but even of those around you. Leave a ray of sunshine wherever you go…warm up the coldest heart with a sunny smile.
Harbour good thoughts and intentions for one and all. Be good and do good. Ward off evil emotions the moment they raise their ugly heads within you. Evict them, uproot them before they grip your mind. You will be wasting your time if you entertain them and allow them to fester your mind. Let good notions and values reign supreme and take precedence in every act that is made by you. Speak in a gentle manner.
Swamiji says that the denizens of the world practice different religions. One’s religion is known the very moment one takes birth. It behoves a person to follow the tenets of his religion sincerely and, since the essence of all religions is one and the same …to walk the path of honesty and goodness … he should do so with determination and great resolve.
The golden principles of one’s religion … truthfulness, honesty and integrity … can, and should inspire him to lay the foundation of his life based on similar sound values.
The teachings of one’s religion… equality of mankind, faith and devotion in God, to live in an honest manner and to be truthful… educate him to realise that his sacred duty is to understand, imbibe and implement the instructions of his religion and follow the Noble Path with belief and zeal.
Hindi version:Swamiji says… 8.0
सँसार में अनेक धर्मों का पालन किया जाता है । जन्म के अनुसार ही धर्म निर्धारित हो जाता है ।
प्रत्येक इंसान को प्रतिबद्धता से धर्मानुसार बताये गये नेकी के रास्ते का आचरण करना चाहिये ।
कोई व्यक्ति अगर सच्चाई से धर्म से प्रेरित होकर नेकी के रास्ते पर चलता है तो वह अपने लिये सुखद जीवन की नींव बना लेता है ।
सर्वजन हिताय, सर्वजन सुखाय की शिक्षा भी धर्म द्वारा ज्ञात होती है ।
धर्म ही कर्तव्य प्रधान है, धर्म ही नेकी की राह है ।
