DIYA


The “Diya” apparatus itself teaches a great lesson to the aspirant. The symbolism is most profound. The vessel (Diya) is compared to the “Body” reminding us of the basic five elements making up our physical form: Earth, Space, Water, Fire and Air. The Ghee in the vessel is the “Mind”.The Flame (Brightness) represents our spiritual consciousness. The brightness of the flame obviously depends on the purity of the Ghee.

Conclusion: The purer the Mind, the more spiritually conscious we become; this is Divya Drishti.

We should not look at the Diya simply as only a source of light, but as a constant reminder of a process to purify our thoughts.
