Is Ravana really gone?
The search for Ravana is still on. But this time the search is within. Every time he manifests in our life in many hidden forms. His ten heads are revealing themselves at different situations in life. Whenever we experience,
1. The lust to acquire others prosperity,
2. The greed to grab others resources,
3. The pride to dominate others opinions,
4. The illusion to not realize our insignificance,
5. The anger venting out of our small needs not being met,
6. The envy popping out seeing another’s competence,
7. The happiness at another’s loss,
8. The ambition that crosses the line of ethics,
9. The inability to tolerate provocations and
10. The insecurity arising out of fear of loss.
We can see one of the heads of Ravana.
Dussehra is time not only to cut these heads of Ravana, but also a time to install the Rama of satisfaction in our lives.
