EVERYONE
IS A FLAME OF LIGHT.
IF
A SIMPLE INANIMATE OBJECT SUCH AS A CANDLE
CAN GIVE LIGHT,
WHY CAN’T YOU AND
I AS HUMAN BEINGS
BE LIGHT?
ARE
WE NOT EVEN EQUAL TO CANDLES?
Now if you go on repeating, “I am Light, I am Light,” while doing your daily
chores, it will get you nowhere. And since you don’t have perfect control of
your mouth, you may go on telling this to others and they will think you are
crazy. And you’ll get crazy. Therefore the objective memory or remembrance
is safer. But otherwise you are Light. If you were not seeking that,
you would not be reading this. What am I giving you otherwise? You are
seeking a certain part of your own being. But don’t apply ego: “I am Light.
Don’t touch me.” When you remember egotistically that you are Light,
naturally others are darkness, and that is ego speaking. But if you have
genuine aspiration you will see that others are Light too, everybody,
everywhere. |
Everyone is a flame of Light. If a simple inanimate object such as a candle
can give light, why can’t you and I as human beings be Light? Are we not
even equal to candles? You have forgotten; that is the whole problem.
Therefore the Vedas have said that forgetfulness is the only sin and it is
eternally true. The whole drama is because we have forgotten. Coming down to
science, Tesla made a light bulb shine with human energy. Some kind of
wattage is there. Even from the scientific point of view, you have the Light
in you. |
