Happy Diwali - on light and triumph
Indians and Hindus in Pakistan are celebrating Diwali today - I wish them a very happy Diwali. There will be fireworks and festivities signifying Ram’s return after a long exile.
We need some light too - the skies are getting darker here. At the same time, there seems to be some light at the end of this long tunnel…
But when the eye is turned toward the Light of God
What thing could remain hidden under such a Light?
Although all lights emanate from the Divine Light
Don’t call all these lights “the Light of God”;
It is the eternal light which is the Light of God,
The ephemeral light is an attribute of the body and the flesh.
…Oh God who gives the grace of vision!
The bird of vision is flying towards You with the wings of desire

“We need some light too - the skies are getting darker here. At the same time, there seems to be some light at the end of this long tunnel…
Our exchange of greetings on Diwali, between two individuals both of who, perhaps, don’t celebrate Diwali, is undoubtedly a “light at the end of this long tunnel.”
Our differences, though few, divide us decisively; yet, our similarities, though numerous, seldom surface! A pity wouldn’t you say…
Thanks for posting ‘Choices’on Pak Tea House.
