One lady was going through depression after surgery. She felt that she would never be able to regain her health and she started feeling low about that. One day her maid’s son came and she saw that his clothes were tattered. She went inside and got her son’s old clothes which looked like new this small child. HE was happy and giggling after receiving them. She also started laughing along. She felt a new light inside herself. She wondered if she made one child smile, she could laugh and felt so much better in her heart. What if she would make many other children smile. She spoke to her maid and started going to her area. She started teaching kids there and time to time she would distribute chocolates/clothes/blankets/quilts etc. She became a source of help for many around them. She always said that by giving smile to others she found out that heart can smile. She always said that no celebration can be completed without those children.
It’s a festival of lights. But the light comes from heart. When you light up others life your life also gets lightened. Be a reason for someone’s smile. Be a reason of light. Be someone’s sunshine. Be the light this world needs and you will see how your life will turn into celebration. We all are one and a part of one Universal body. How do we feel if one part of our body is in pain? We cannot smile and will feel the pain in mind and heart. Similarly, when any part of this Universal body is in pain, we have that pain in heart whether we realize that or not. When we make someone smile, we lighten up that pain and our heart smiles.
Have a great Dipawali.
