Gurunather’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 29-05-2011
I would like to give an elucidation: “Do we have to light up a lamp everyday at home?” Some seem to wonder, “Will not Friday or one day in a week suffice? This job seems to be an added job”. This is a wrong attitude. The ‘deepam’ or lamp is equal to the sun or moon. Every morning and evening it needs to be lit in every home. It should be done in the early morning when the sun rises and in the evening with the coming of the moon. For we must remember it is to welcome them both. Since we cannot see properly in the dark and often feel a little fearful nobody likes being in darkness. With light one can see clearly all around and our fear goes-does it not? Similarly the fears in our life are chased out by the light of our lamps. This has nothing to do with faith or the lack of it. The lamp gives light which in turn is illuminating knowledge. Does it not seem a little foolish to say, “Is it enough to light a lamp or seek knowledge on Friday alone?”. Since you require light, Knowledge, an absence of fear and joy every day I shall advice you to light a lamp for one hour every morning and evening.
