If you want to light a lamp, you need four things. First a container, second oil, third a wick and fourth a match box. If anyone of these is lacking, you cannot light the lamp. This lamp can, however remove only the darkness that lies outside. How is the darkness in the heart to be removed? It can be removed only Jnana Jyothi, the light of wisdom, and by nothing else. How is this spiritual light to be lit? This also needs four elements. Vairagya or detachment is the container. Bhakti or devotion is the oil. Ekaagrata, one-pointed concentration, is the wick. Jnana or knowledge of the Supreme Truth is the matchstick. Without all the four, the light of spiritual wisdom cannot be got. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba
