Let us put an end to our superstitions, educate others

When in a district of Bihar, a District Magistrate ate the food prepared by a widow, the food that villagers stopped their children to eat in a school was really a welcome gesture that should bring conscience to the villagers who did so. However I was shocked to know that even now such things happen that too in our own backyard. This forward and backward, touchable and untouchable, poor and rich - I can't count how much are we divided.. At the top of it, despite being one of the least developed countries as far as what the human development index speaks, we have so much of superstitions that even educated people still believe in things like don't cross the street if a cat has crossed it before and until someone else crosses it thinking the ill fate that may fall on us if we cross first, let it go to someone else. I have seen people stopping their bikes or car waiting for any other person to walk or any other bike or car to cross first, after that cat has passed through it. If you sneeze once, people will say something bad is waiting, if your left eye vibrates again this is a bad omen... Well there are thousands of false babas too promoting such superstitions offering solution to the ill fates caused by these superstitious events by means of providing stones and tantra mantras. Well we are educated and we need to see that everyone around us get educated and come out of such superstitions. We need to make people understand that there is nothing other than our Karmas that can change our lives for the betterment. No trick, no tantra yantra can change our fate without our own efforts. Let us change ourselves. Love all fellow beings. Don't discriminate please.
