Diwali Quotes

“Sonnet of Festivals

Christmas isn't about the decorations,
It's about compassion.
Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot,
It's about amalgamation.
Ramadan isn't about the feast,
It's about affection.
Diwali isn't about the lights,
It's about ascension.
Our world is filled with festivals,
But what do they really mean?
Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity,
Makes us not human but savage fiend.
Every festival belongs to all of humanity,
For happiness has no religious identity.”

“Integration is Illumination (The Sonnet)

Asato ma sad gamaya*,
Benevolence is bismillah.
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya**,
Mind is the mightiest menorah.
Luz, lux, noor - light by any name,
Brings the same illumination.
And what is this mythical light,
If not an act of collective ascension!
Light is not the absence of darkness,
Light is the absence of indifference.
Darkness is symptom, coldness is the sickness,
Once we treat coldness, we'll treat all darkness.
I repeat, light by any name brings the same illumination.
If not now, when will we put an end to this dehumanization!


(*Let's rise from ignorance to truth. **Let's rise from darkness to light.)”

“Gdmng. Here is a powerful truth we saw during Diwali: We don’t wait for the government, friends or family to illuminate the entire city. Instead, we lit our corner, our neighbor lit theirs & that’s how the whole city became radiant.

Sweetheart, that is the message today: Stop expecting or blaming others for what they have or haven’t done. Focus entirely on what you can do, create & build right now.

Darling listen - Your power is not in the grand plan, but in that one small, immediate action: lighting up your corner. Skip the giant leap; just take the next, gentle step, however small it may be.

Be all in, sweetheart. Do the best you can do in this moment. Light up your own Diya & watch your world begin to shift. Blessings!”
― Rajesh Goyal
