Soul Enlightening Diwali

This Diwali, 
instead of wearing a new dress, 
can I change the way I address people?


This Diwali, 
instead of cleaning an already clean house,
can I work on scrubbing my dusty heart?

This Diwali,
instead of lighting up my doorway,
can I question my pathway to ignorance?

This Diwali,
instead of stuffing myself with sweets,
can I give up the bitterness in my heart?

This Diwali,
instead of bursting crackers,
can I burst my egoistic pride?
The day I do all this,

The Divine will quietly walk into my heart ....
or
Else with all the noise,
I may celebrate Diwali....
but sans my Divinity !!!!!
