Happy Diwali

I am sharing my very true feelings related to this festival. This is one of the most waited festival of us. We clean our house and surroundings. Remove all the clutter from every where. we buy new cloths. Some times we paint our house. We give gifts to friends. On that particular day we put rangoli , do Lakshmi Puja , cook special food, have sweets and chocolates. We ignite candles and diyas and burst crackers. This whole sounds so nice.

What ever I have explained, we do it so mechanically that it does not change our inner self. It has merely become a show off. When we say Happy Diwali to any one I don't know what energy we exchange with each other. I am very keen to find this answer. I hope to get it soon and celebrate my next diwali differently.
