No other element in this world is as significant as light. It is light that shows us the way by dispelling darkness. Only with the help of light, everyone attends to their daily duties. The flame of a lamp has two significant qualities. One is to banish darkness; the other is its continuous upward movement. Even if a lamp is kept in a pit, the flame is directed upward. All Indian festivals have a sacred inner significance to remind people of their own innate and immanent Divinity; the upward movement of the flame, as said by the ancients, must remind you of the path to wisdom and the path to Divinity! Lamp dispels external darkness. To dispel the internal darkness of ignorance within, you need to have vairagya (renunciation) as the container, love as the oil, one pointed concentration as the wick, and tattwa jnana (spiritual wisdom) as the matchbox. Only when you have all these four can you light the lamp of wisdom.
