Renewal

It is almost an year since I wrote something here. It's been a year of silent work and much contemplation. This Deepavali period consolidated some insights - it is a period of inner revival. Rama is the Supreme intelligence, and His return to the rulership of Ayodhya the centre of our existence with Sita, the receptive inner being (the jivatman or the psychic being in Sri Aurobindo's words) - this is the eternal occasion that the lamp of renewal reminds us of. We light this lamp of understanding in our hearts and become aware of the True existence, this is Deepavali. the Truth and our true relation to it, illumining this is Deepavali.
