The Light

Imagine a dark room. A baby entered the dark room with a candle.The darkness slowly started disappearing as the candle started glowing more and more brightly. The darkness had no power in front of the light. Imagine a person staying in the dark room with his eyes closed. The person was in darkness since birth. No light was seen till now. As the room gets brighter, and as the person sees the light, the eyes will not tolerate the brightness. As a natural response, the eyes are closed being unable to tolerate the light. Gradually, the eyes will open as the person realizes the difference. The person will see what is in the room. He will realize his own presence and the presence of other people who might have been staying at the other corners of the room in the dark. He also realizes that whatever he does is seen to others at this point.

Why do we need light in the room? Because, without light, there will only be darkness and darkness is stillness. Stillness is death. The human body, when it is still is dead. The human heart, when it is still is dead. Humans are not called to be still in the dark, but for a journey through the light. In darkness, nothing will be done, or whatever being done is mischievous acts that cannot be done in light. The shameful acts that cannot be visible for others are done in the dark. Therefore, light is essential to prevent the death that happens due to the stillness in darkness and to prevent the shameful and mischievous acts that harm and hurt other fellow beings.

Where do we need light? Light is needed at those places filled with darkness. Is the darkness just materialistic, or can it be spiritual too? For those who believe that there is a God, they have to accept that spirituality is a part of the human being too. For the atheists, there is no proof that confirms the absence of God, but plenty of proofs that confirm the presence of God. Therefore, there is a spiritual aspect for life disregarding the ideas of religions, denomination etc. Basic ideas of all spiritual thoughts are to do good. Good is done in the light. Where can death happen first? The physical body, as well as the spiritual body can die. While the physical body weakens with lack of physical food and nutrition, the spiritual body weakness with lack of spiritual food and nutrition. When the spiritual body is in darkness, the thoughts of good vanish away, and evil and mischief enters which in turn leads to suffering and sorrows. Discover the light which is glowing in front of you. Discover the light of love, and the light of freedom. Christ came to light it. Are we partakers?
