na tatra sūryo bhāti na candratārakaṃ nemā
vidyuto bhānti kuto'yamagniḥ |
tameva bhāntamanubhāti sarvaṃ tasya
bhāsā sarvamidaṃ vibhāti || 15 ||
The sun does not shine there; nor do the moon and the stars, nor do these lightnings shine. How could this fire? Him shining, all shine after. All this shines by his light.
---the Katha Upanishad, Verse 2.2.15
HAPPY DIWALI!
