One evening, a young disciple sat beside the Buddha, frustrated and heavy-hearted.
He said, “Master, the world is full of cruelty, lies, and suffering. Everywhere I look, there is darkness. How can I ever be at peace in such a world?”

The Buddha listened in silence.
Then he picked up a small clay lamp, lit it, and gently placed it before the disciple.

“Tell me,” the Buddha asked softly, “where did the darkness go?”

The disciple looked around and whispered, “It’s gone, Master. The light has driven it away.”

The Buddha smiled.
“Then stop worrying about the darkness of the world.
Light your candle — your kindness, your compassion, your truth.
That is enough.”

The disciple bowed deeply. He finally understood.

You cannot chase away darkness with anger or fear.
You can only light a lamp — and become one.

Moral / Takeaway:

You cannot eliminate darkness by fighting it or complaining about it. Darkness fades naturally in the presence of light.

Every act of kindness, compassion, patience, or integrity is a lamp lit in the world. You may not change everything — but you will change something.

Instead of being consumed by what is wrong, become what is right.
When you choose to be the light, peace follows — and others find their way by it.
