Ode to Inner Light

On the sacred festival of light, we come with open hearts, 
Seeking beauty’s true reflection, where the soul’s essence starts. 
Not in fleeting worldly forms, but in light that never fades, 
Shining bright, deep within—our inner truth displayed. 

O pure light, eternal flame, 
Guide us from within; free us from shame. 
Reveal the soul, so pure and bright, 
On this holy day, we seek Your light. 

Let us cleanse both heart and mind, let us see who we are, 
For beyond the worldly veils, there’s a glow like a star. 
To be conscious, true, and kind, free of suffering’s weight, 
In the beauty of the spirit, all fears dissipate. 

O pure light, eternal flame, 
Guide us from within; free us from shame. 
Reveal the soul, so pure and bright, 
On this holy day, we seek Your light. 

Beauty of the spirit, undying and true, 
In every soul, there’s divinity too. 
Not of this world, yet it dwells deep inside, 
A beauty that forever will abide. 

As we honor Deepawali, let our spirits align, 
With the essence of the One, both human and divine. 
May this day awaken us, to the truth we must see,
The radiant light within is our true beauty. 

O pure light, eternal flame, 
Guide us from within; free us from shame. 
Reveal the soul, so pure and bright, 
On this holy day, we seek Your light. 

So we bow in devotion, humbly, we pray, 
For the wisdom and the grace on this holy day. 
Grant us freedom from darkness, let love always flow, 
In the beauty of the spirit, may we always glow.
