All
festivals observed by Bharatiyas (Indians) have a marvelous inner
meaning. But men in general view them in terms of external observances
and celebrate them with feasts and frolic. These festivals were really
intended to be used for the exclusive worship of the Divine, to enjoy
the bliss of that devotion, and to overcome pain and sorrow. These
holy days were instituted for the purpose of getting rid of ignorance
and cultivating right knowledge, the higher wisdom and cosmic consciousness.
--Sathya Sai Baba
Sanathana Sarathi, May 1989 From Digest II - A collection of Sri Sathya Sai Baba's sayings
