Darkness is broader than light. Because darkness lasts for a long time, it lasts long and the light does not last long. It is dark behind day. It is still dark in front of the day. There is darkness in the mother's womb too, from where our body started, and when the body is released from the body, the creature again sinks into darkness. The light is very short and the darkness is very long.This #Vedic prayer is remembered on Diwali - "Tamaso ma jyotirgamay" - Walk from darkness to light. There are lines associated with it - from ignorance to knowledge, from untruth to truth and from the cycle of birth and death, you have the power to lead to immortality.
