Clean Your Mind

Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj ji

Diwali is a festival of lights; the oldest and most joyous among all the festivals celebrated all over the world. Be it the rich or the poor, each one makes his/her own plans to celebrate Diwali with enthusiasm. Diwali brings good fortune to people who clean up their homes as they believe the goddess of wealth will visit them and shower boons on those whose premises are clean and decorated, and duly illuminated with oil lamps or candles. However, while cleaning our houses, we should also remember to clean up our minds. Through introspection, we should try to locate and remove the filth that has gathered within us. This can be easily achieved by using the treasure of knowledge, virtues and experience given to us by the Supreme Almighty. Diwali signifies the victory of good over evil, of virtue over vice, of enlightenment over ignorance. As Diwali falls on the day of amavasya, which is symbolised by darkness, each household lights attractive lamps inside and outside the house to signify the enlightenment that comes during the darkest period of ignorance. This Diwali, let us all realise the value and beauty of our own spiritual self and our eternal relationship with the Supreme Being, and rekindle our inner light to spread the light of love, peace and harmony among all human beings. By doing so, we can celebrate a true Diwali and shower the globe with the Almighty’s rays of enlightenment. I trust that all the readers and their families will celebrate the festival from their hearts. May you all rejoice and fly high with the Supreme, who is the king of lights, and continue to spread colourful rays of love, peace, benevolence and happiness.
