Celebration

With all these festivals coming and going, it must be celebration time, buying new things, cleaning the house, making sweets. And I am thinking, what is the point? If we only clean the house but do not get rid of the cobwebs in our mind, buying new stuff while we hold on to old, limiting thoughts and prejudiced opinions. If we cannot pave the way for the darkness within us to give way to light, what is the use of lighting a thousand lamps or sending up thousands worth of fireworks.


And, why wait for a festival or occasion to celebrate. Shouldn't each moment be celebratory, each moment that we have been given to love, each precious moment that can get us closer to our Self, each step that takes us closer to the Divine, shouldn't we celebrate?
