TRUTH ABOUT FEELINGS, LOVE & EGO
Once upon a time there was an island, where all the feelings lived together
One day there was a storm in the sea and the island was about to sink
Every feeling was scared but Love made a boat to escape
Every feeling boarded the boat. One feeling was left out
Love got down to see who it was
It was EGO
Love tried and tried but ego wouldn’t move. Also the water was rising
Every one asked love to leave him and come into the boat, but love was made to love
At last all the feelings escape and Love died along with ego on the island
Love died because of Ego
The reason that ego and love are not compatible comes down to this:
You cannot take your ego into the unknown, where love wants to lead
If you follow love, your life will become uncertain, and the ego craves certainty.
“If you create any open space within yourself, love will fill it”
- Bhupendra Singh (A&N)
WHY DO WE LIGHT A LAMP
Everyday we light a lamp before the Lord-before dawn and dusk.
All the auspicious functions commence by lighting a lamp. Every
generation questions this practice and asks why we light a lamp.
All of us believe that there is some divine power in this world. Light
symbolizes knowledge. Light is the illuminator of knowledge. Knowledge
removes ignorance as light dispels darkness. So we light a lamp and
bow to knowledge which is the greatest wealth.
