Brightness

          

        Brightness of the personality is a boon worth having. It is not a gift come from any extraneous source, but it is an unfoldment from within.

      He who lives a clean and cheerful life develops brightness. Delinquency combined with melancholy annuls it. Choosing between the dull depression and the gay brightness is in the hands of man. When one rouses oneself up to the higher possibilities in life, brightness follows suit.

Brightness Thou art; endow me with brightness.                                        – Vedanta

                                        The Inner Light

      Man is blessed with the inner light. The physical eye does not and cannot see it. The light within cognizes itself. It cognizes the things outside.

      The inner light is constant. It reveals itself through the glass of the mind. The defects in the mind seemingly blur the light within. But actually, the light remains ever unaffected by the modifications of the mind. Man ought to ignore the limitations of the mind and seek to get fixed in the inner light.

        Lord you are the inner Light; lead me to the inner Light.

-                                                             - Vedanta
