The Spirit of
Deepavali
The power of Light
balancing and
subduing the
powers of
Darkness
Thus, the struggle
between Good and
Evil continues
In ourselves, in our
society and the
environment
Philosophically,
everything is Light
and Darkness it’s
shadow
Yet, both qualities
are inseparable
Like the day
intertwining the
night and vice
versa
Ever contradicting
and complementing
each other
So, we recognise our
true selves through
our dialectical
opposites
In fact, we are
‘Brightness’
The admixture
of Light (Good)
and Darkness (Evil)
So, goodness
becomes dominant
when our scale of
Brightness move
towards Light
Graced by
conscience.
consciousness
And the political
will to affect
change
Our role is to balance
these forces in
favour of Justice,
Truth, Love and
Compassion
So, The Spirit of Deepavali shines brightly forever more
