A man walks alone on the brink of a gloomy crisis while hoping that The Guru shines a light on his path. “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”

Leo (C), aged 6, and Espen, aged 3, are assisted by their mother Moira as they navigate online learning resources provided by their infant school in the village of Marsden, near Huddersfield, northern England on March 23, 2020 on the first school day since the nationwide closure of almost all schools except for the children of \'key workers\', amidst the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. - Families across the UK were coming to grips with homeschooling and online resources after the government closed schools to almost all children as a measure to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus.

A man walks alone on the brink of a gloomy crisis while hoping that The Guru shines a light on his path. “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” The Guru then answers, “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”

Such was King George VI’s advice for the people of Great Britain amid the long darkness of the 1930s global economic depression. Crisis occurs when normality is disrupted and generic formulas provide no way out. At such moments, awareness and submission are important. There is always another way not completely known to us, another path in life that we may have forgotten. There is humility to submit to the source of all lights.
