Two days back I finished the part I of
Shiva Trilogy and by the end I got a lesson. There is no evil, this is what
the savior is told by a saint when he is in going through the anxious phase of
self-guilt, when he is reaching God to answer him whether he has done right or
wrong. Whether he has brought an end to the evil or he did a wrong decision.
This is when he is told by a God
send, that there is no evil. It is just that people are different in the world
over. Rules of one could be the restrictions for other. One could prefer
vibrant as happiness and other could feel sober as peace. One could mean no
laws second could mean laws for all.
If we think of these things in
our regular life, we can find so many answers. Imagine the differences our
society has created in the everyday life – the difference in opinions, the
choices to be made, all these rights are snatched on the pretext on religion,
viewpoints, cast, creed, social status etc.
We are succumbing to the
unnecessary reasoning like what dress to wear where, make-up or no-make-up, why
eating non-vegan is a crime, why alcoholics are bad people, who people should
marry, why a neighbor’s luxury should be envied until we have them too. How
money makes someone inferior/superior, how people are getting in a mad-rush to
achieve not what gives them happiness but what takes them a level up from
others.
People even do not have their own
dreams. I feel they never got to dream for they were brought up with the
imposed rules, rules which give more sense of achievement then the sense of
belonging. Sadly, there are certain customs & values in our Indian
system which make people, bound them and force them to restrict their own
happiness. But that’s not fair for each one should be taught & brought up
with the only one message – ‘there is no evil’, what you did during a certain
situation doesn't brand you as good or bad. It is what best could be done at
that particular moment.
Start telling yourself right from
this moment, “I will fear No Evil”.
Keep Faith.
