Baba says that "There was no avatar in 'Satyug' as all were honest and truthful. In 'Tretayug', the world was divided into two parts : good and evil. Lord Ram travelled to a distant part of the world to destroy the demons of the time. By the time 'Dwaperyug' started, the good and evil were living together and therefore Lord Krishna had to segregate them in two groups and destroyed the 'Kaurvas' group. In 'Kalyug', both the attributes have gone inside the individuals. A man is both good and bad i.e. the person is good for himself and bad for others. So you will have to kill all to kill the evil. Therefore, the only path left is - 'Updeasha' i..e.counselling"
The evil part has dominated so much that now a person is not afraid of committing crime but only evaluates its cost before its execution. For instance, I asked a fellow passenger "why do you travel without ticket? Are you not afraid?. He said "My calculation is simple - Travel without ticket and save Rs. 1500/= per month. Pay the fine of Rs. 200/= as and when you are caught, the probability of which is only once in a month. So the saving is Rs. 1300/= per month. The fellow is impertinent and unashamed.
When I was studying at UOR, Roorkee, I read a news item in the local paper. The news was that - At Purkaji, a bus was looted in the night. The decoits snatched the costly items and jewellery from the passengers and alighted the bus. After sometimes, one of them came back and distributed the looted items back to their owners. After the distribution he kind of requested the passengers not to report the matter. After inquiry, he replied, "The cost of the looted material is far less than the amount they have promised to pay for this crime". So the cost of crime was more than the profit.
The cost of jumping of red light at crossing is just Rs. 400/=, and that of ramming your car into others vehicle is only abuses, and if it happens in the parking area it is absolutely free i.e. not even the abuses. Stalking a girl, costs nothing but harassment to the prey by the mugger.
In general the rape incidences are not reported and if a brave one reports the incidence, the conviction rate is very poor. In fact, there is no witness in these cases because the only witness is the victim herself. For the culprit the cost is minimal but the victim suffers both physically and mentally throughout her life.
The irony is that the world passes by and nobody bothers for nobody.
The recent incidence of rape in the bus has jolted Delhi like never before. Damini's dead body is being brought back tonight from Singapore. May be tomorrow morning she will be hurriedly cremated. I hope Delhi does not go back to its routine. Let us join hands together to maintain the pressure on these dumb and deaf politicians lest they as usual brush this ghastly act under the carpet and move on. Not only the culprits be punished in severest way possible but effective laws must be enacted so that the cost of committing the crime becomes prohibitive for the sinners.
A Delhiet
Thought to ponder....
Do not think of tomorrow and do not think of yesterday. Live in the present, live in the moment, and thus live in the existence. Then you will be happy.
