Message on the day of the full moon: When the full moon appears in the sky with its full glow, it illuminates everything naturally. – Bhagat Kabeer, Guru Granth Sahib, Page 344
Message: With a symbolic reference to the day of the full moon of the lunar fortnight, Bhagat Kabeer states that when the full moon rises in the sky, its radiance fills the world with light and brightness. Similarly, when the spiritual Moon (the Divine) rises in the heart, it enlightens us with the glow of divine and infinite wisdom.
The moon rises and phases out periodically and its light disappears. It turns into the night of no moon. However, the Divine permeates from the beginning to the end and remains ever constant and steady. He is the infinite Moon and the infinite Sun. If we unite with Him and imbibe His rays of wisdom and virtue in us, we are immersed in the ocean of peace and serenity – as He is the pool of bliss and ocean of all joys and comforts.
