We say Diwali is a festivity of light. The win of light over dark etc. etc. Is it? Or have you missed something? Lao Tzu says please take me to darkness. Old sages say please take me from dark to light. :)

But have you wondered the deep, they diya that you light on Diwali. Just behind, just inside the light there is darkness. Behind the whole sparkling of light crackers and all the plethora of it, darkness shines. And behind darkness light shines.

Just for a moment think, was Rama or Diwali possible if Ravana was not there. That is why India is really a wise country. A wise race. A race that has reached to the heights of reality unmanifest and manifest, seen and unseen, imagined and unimagined, known and unknown. Diwali meaning the end is beginning and beginning end. This is the reason in INDIA even Ravana is worshipped :):):):). He too is deity in many places and villages. And Diwali comes on Amas (when) there is no light and is considered auspicious. :):):):). Darkness to has light. And light too dark. MAYA. That is why Adyashakti is worshipped on Diwali. Complete MAYA :):):):) And thanks given!

So then what Diwali is? Is it just a festivity of light? Light and dark both are hallucinations (Science has proved it). The manifestation of same emptiness. The illusion of light and darkness is inherently empty. Light and no light, dark and no dark are in reality nothing but empty. This eternal PLAY of MAYA of emptiness is what Diwali acknowledges.

Some people say celebrate divinity. Well if you realize this you will know that DIVINITY is already celebrating. Enjoyment bliss all is empty. DIVINE CELESTIAL CELEBRATION IS GOING ON. What you call as sorrow, grief etc. all is EMPTY. That is nothing but an hallucination. IT IS UTTERLY EMPTY. You don't need to enjoy or celebrate as you are empty. You need not realize as there is nothing but emptiness. As soon as there is no I or you or realization ... the truth... the reality takes over... THEN CELESTIAL NO-CELESTIAL UNIVERSAL NO-UNIVERSAL DIVINE NO-DIVINE CELEBRATION NO-CELEBRATION IS... 24 HOURS SUPER INHUMAN ORGASM IS...

ONLY EMPTINESS IS. ALL THAT MANIFESTS or UNMANIFESTS is always and only the appearance of phantoms of EMPTINESS - the apparent and not apparent universe, the worlds, the lives, the life story, the body-mind-soul, feelings, sense of separation, sense of unity, good, bad, evil angel, and the search of bliss enlightenment joy divinity etc. ; is all the emptiness appearing as one and two - the noneness emptiness appearing as everything no-thing. The drama of search or no-search or realization or no-realization is totally without meaning or purpose; it is a dream awakening or sleep; it is a dream awareness or no-awareness. There is no deeper intelligence weaving a destiny and no choice or choicelessness functioning at any level. Nothing is born. Nothing dies. Nothing is happening. All phenomena and persons are utterly EMPTY. There is no individual or collective or no-individual or cosmic identity.

The Dharma knows nothing of living beings or non-living, because it is removed from the defilements of such concepts as 'living beings' or 'non-living'. The Dharma knows nothing of 'I' or 'You' or 'thee', because it is removed from the defilements of such concepts as 'I' 'You' or 'thee'. It knows nothing of light or dark or no-light or no-dark as it is removed from the defilements of such concepts. It knows nothing of enjoy or bliss or divine or devil or cosmos or celebration as it is removed from the defilements of such concepts. It knows nothing of a life-span, because it knows nothing of birth and death. It knows nothing of individuality or soul as it is cut off from considerations of past or future lives. The Dharma is forever still, infinitive, no-infinitive and serene, because it has wiped out all characteristics. The Dharma is without characteristics, because it is without characteristics that can be perceived.

The Dharma is without names or appellations because it is cut off from all languages. The Dharma is without any expounding, because it is removed from broad or minute contemplation by the mind. The Dharma is without forms or formless or characteristics, because it is as though vacant and empty. The Dharma is not the subject of frivolous theories, because in the end it is empty.

The Dharma is without distinctions because it is apart from all types of consciousness. The Dharma is without the concept of time or space because it apart from all types of time and space. The Dharma has nothing it can compare to, because there is no entity that can be set beside it.

The Dharma is not affected by causes, because it does not exist in conditioned realm. The Dharma is identical with Dharma nature, because it enters into all phenomena's and dharmas. The Dharma conforms with what is truly so, because there is nothing else to confirm to.

The Dharma abides in the locus of reality, being unaffected by anything on the periphery. The Dharma is without motion or wavering, never depending on sense objects or objects or time space or consciousness. The Dharma is without coming or going, since it never abides anywhere to begin with.

The Dharma accords with emptiness and non-emptiness, follows what is formless and non-formless, responds to what is actionless. The Dharma is separate from beautiful or ugly. The Dharma knows no increase or diminution, the dharma knows no enlightenment or no-enlightenment, the Dharma knows no birth or extinction, the Dharma knows no destination, or path or going or reaching or reached or not-reached. The Dharma transcends eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, ego, no-ego, soul, no-soul, God, no-god, consciousness and no-consciousness. The Dharma knows no high or low. The Dharma constantly abides without moving.

The Dharma is separate from all practices or all meditational practices or all awareness or all enjoyments or all bliss or all celebrations or all paths and no-paths. The Dharma is empty of within and without. And in the end the Dharma is devoid of all separations.

Since the characteristics and no-characteristics of Dharma are such as these, how can one expound it? Expounding the Dharma means no expounding, no demonstrating and listening to the Dharma means no listening, no grasping.

It is like a conjurer of phantoms expounding the Dharma for phantom persons. It is this Dharma, the reality that is, (and Karmas the ILLUSIONS, they playless play, the MAYA) that DIWALI is indicative off.
