19 - Bringing Light Into Darkness
Once there was cave which
used to live underground, as most caves do. Since she spent her entire life
underground, she lived in darkness and never saw light. One day a voice talked
to her and said - "O Cave, Come up into light and enjoy the sunlight." The Cave
replied - "I do not know what you mean by light, all I have ever known is
darkness." The voice again said - "Come up and see for yourself."
The Cave gathered her
courage and slowly climbed up from the depths of the Earth and came out. As she
came up she was astounded to see the light. She had never seen such light before
in her entire life. The Cave exclaimed, "Beautiful." After enjoying the light
for a while she said to the sunlight, "Now it is your turn to see darkness where
I live." The sunlight asked - "What is darkness?" The Cave answered - "Come and
see for yourself." and went down in her home.
One day the sunlight
decided to visit the Cave's home, so she slowly entered her home and called -
"Cave, Come, I have come to see you." But she could not find any darkness, so
she asked the Cave - "Where is darkness?"
But with the sunlight
inside, there was no darkness, all around was light, and light, and light.
[This is the power of light.
Wherever there is light, there can be no darkness. Whenever we feel dark
outside, we should bring our inner light to the darkness and then there will be
no darkness in our lives. Our inner light is LOVE. With LOVE everything is
possible.]
