Every moment Diwali
Guruji’s Diwali message
“We don’t have to get satisfied with lighting one lamp, We have to light thousands of lamps. Not only one person but also everyone should have smile on their face”
Significance of Diwali
There are four aspects of this festival
1. Laxmi puja ( worship the goddess of wealth)
Inner meaning of it is honoring the wealth you have, We spend the whole time in acquiring wealth and some time we may not even aware of how much we have? So this day we take all that we have and become grateful for what all we have. We feel that abundance in ourselves. When we feel abundance, more come to us. There are 8 types of wealth and nine types of “nidhis”. Water and earth are wealth. And we honor them by not polluting them, not using pesticides.
2. Firecrackers
We accumulate lots of anxieties, frustration, anger. So our heart burst out with the explosion and we become friendly.
3. Sweet and Gift exchange
The inner meaning is that feel the sweetness in you. And speak with sweet voice.
4. Lightening
Light the lamp of talents in you. If you do seva, then learn singing, If you are a singer then do sdadhana and so on. Light the lamp of knowledge, meditation.
Before that we had a wonderful pooja and then unique meditation.
Q. Guruji, What are 8 wealths and nine nidhis?
Sri Sri: I have spoken about it in ashtalakshmi cassette.
Q. I find difficulty in accepting your ways?
Sri Sri: We have mainly five points
i. Accept people as they are
ii. Live in present moment
iii. Don’t be football of others opinion.
iv. Don’t see intention behind other’s mistakes.
So if you are happy not following these points then don’t follow it, but smile. Only thing I care of is your smile.
Guruji said, for fool diwali come once a year but for wise people every moment is diwali.
Q. What we can do for Global warming.
Sri Sri: Plant more and more trees, Consume less fuel.
