Every year we have so many festivals, we prepare we celebrate and we invite joy and happiness in life. However, so many times these festivals become a mere ritual, where you know what you have to do..and you do that. However, many people forget the real purpose behind the festivals…in daily mundane life we forget that life itself is the biggest celebration as it gives you an opportunity to be here and assert our free will.
When you light a lamp, it is suppose to illuminate your innerself, it is suppose to remove darkness, once you reach the light, the source of life your whole world would be illuminated. The life itself will become celebration, where you will be inviting all peace and joy in life. it would be full of love..that would be the real celebration.
Few years back..I found out people fighting over celebrations on the festivals, they want to follow the ritual not purpose, so whats the point in celebrating? You need to celebrate the love not a ritual. If you celebrate a ritual, it stays as ritual…however, life is not a ritual, life is a festival itself. If you want to celebrate real festival, celebrate life…
