We all have heard of “Mayavi Rakshash”(illusive monsters), they create Maya i.e. illusion and trap people, some times either they eat them or utilise them in the most destructive way. There was once such Mayavi Rakshash named Adolf Hitler. He utilised immature democracy of the then Germany,created illusion,trapped people in that illusion acquired absolute power and become autocrat. He first strangulated democracy and gradually destroyed the whole Germany.
In fact such illusions becomes more effective when it get people with various addictions such as addiction of religion, race cast, fake nationalism etc. Karl Marx had said that religion is like opium and indeed he was absolutely right. Religion is that opium which react very fast and damages human consciousness and because of such damage people loose their ability to think and understand, precondition for such addiction is illusive environment once people get such environment people become addicted very easily. Once people become addicted they fail to distinguish between right and wrong infect they forget to understand even the basic teaching or basic philosophy of that particular religion. First they become radical after that they become extremist and ultimately terrorist ( if you are addicted of religion you must see your symptoms that at which stage you are. And should start medication in the form of reading right book)). Islamic terrorism is very good example of such illusion and addiction combo.
Now the question is, why are these illusions? Why people become addicted? As far as my understanding is concerned I think it is lack of right information, right education and right knowledge which force people to become prey of such illusions and addictions. It is this lack of right information and knowledge which debar people from distinguishing between right and wrong, debar from taking right decision. Right decision which is based upon welfare of all, prosperity for all irrespective of any religion, race,cast, sex or place of birth.
Once incarnation of Shri Ram had saved us from these Mayavi Rakshash in Treta yuga but now it is Kali yuga and I think there is no hope of any incarnation in the near future, hence now it is we who have to perform the task of Shri Ram in the light of teaching which he had tought us. But for that to happen there is need of right information, right knowledge and these right information and knowledge is not only depend upon our religious knowledge rather it could be information and knowledge of our constitution,our social, political, economical and cultural environment, our rights ,our duties our atmospheric environment in fact every information and every knowledge which is necessary for the welfare and well being of humanity.
The main objective of this article is to make you people aware of the fact that it is this right information and right knowledge which will keep us aloof from such illusions and addictions. And it has become much more important today because today everywhere there is fake information and fake knowledge, it has become very difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. And also considering the fact that today everywhere, there are such Mayavis(illusionists), in this difficult situation it is this enhanced knowledge and right information which will help us to detect such Mayavi Rakshash. Hence keep yourself well informed and well knowledged never form any perception based upon political propaganda, never trust any politician, try to distinguish between right and wrong. Though it is Kali yuga but at the same time it is the era of information and technology so get benefited of this, keep yourself well informed and at the same time keep yourself aloof from illusions,religious addictions and fake news. Religion is everybody’s individual right, never infringe others right, try to maintain rule of law. Keep your religion away from politics, nationalism and statehood.
