“Enjoy Diwali. Diwali you cannot celebrate with one candle. You have to have more and more of candles.”
“That basically they are there to get their Realisation, only we have to extend our ideas. We have to extend our ‘love’ to them.
Instead of getting annoyed with them, better is to give them a chance and you’ll be amazed that they are very anxious to get transformed. They’re all fed up with all the artificial things they’re having. It’s over now. You will be amazed how many are waiting there for you to give them Self-Realisation and let them celebrate their Diwali with you.
Enjoy Diwali. Diwali you cannot celebrate with one candle. You have to have more and more of candles. And that’s what is your job. Only by your own candle, you are going to do it. It’s your own and it can enlighten anyone. Then why not use it—at any cost, at any place?”
