Spiritual Quotes On lamp

Religion is like the edge of a sword, unrighteous doing [polampol, doing things in one’s own way] is not allowed there.

The Self is undoubtedly the embodiment of Knowledge (Gnan swaroop), it is nothing else besides that. The light emitted by this lamp is inanimate (jada), but if you were to cut it, would it get cut? The light (prakash) of the Self is something else entirely! Even if you were to fire up a furnace, it would not touch the Knowledge (Gnan), It [the Self] is that subtle! The blaze of the fire is gross in comparison to the Self. The Self is so subtle that it does not get affected by this at all, and that indeed is the absolute Self (Parmatma)!

The Self will indeed have to be Known, won’t it? Otherwise, there will be no end, will there? Within you, everything is ready, the oil, the ‘lamp’, the wick. What is missing? A matchstick is needed. Come over here [to the Gnani], so the lamp will alight!
