Bijoyadashami is celebrated as a victory of good over evil. On this pious day, we should find the asuras in and around us. One of the biggest evil inside us is Ahankar. The word Ahankar comes from the word "Aham", which means "I".
This sense of my achievement and the notion that I have done this and the ego is the biggest asura inside us. Once we are able to overpower the sense of my achievement and our ego, Lot of problems will go away. It is our ego, which does not allow us to rectify the mistakes, even when we realise them. To cover one mistake, we commit more mistakes and eventually fall into trap. We need to introspect into ourselves and try to rectify it from today. To start with, we can consult our parents, elders or even friends for process of rectifying our mistakes already identified by us. We may find amazing results and even more acceptability from a larger society.
Biggest asura around us is the ignorance and arrogance resulting from it. Ignorant public are more prune to fall prey to rumors and create disturbance in the society. We should ensure that our neighborhood is well aware of the happenings and opportunities available to society at large. Education is one of the ways to fight ignorance. Unless you can read or write, you cannot get the information available in books, newspapers, magazines etc. We must try that basic education of reading, writing and analyzing is available to all in our neighborhood.
Let us take the baby steps on this Bijoya to overpower our ego and spreading education in our society.
