Maya Ravan is said to be the vices like Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego. It is something that makes someone is distress now and then. This also includes envy, laziness, hatred etc. These vices comes from body conciousness. Body conciousness will definitely give sorrow. If not now, in future it will definitely give.
So, no one wants sorrow to come in their life. Everyone wants peace and happiness in their life. So, the doings should also be good enough to have peace and happiness. But Maya Ravan doesn’t allow someone to do good deeds. Maya ravan has got into our behaviour too. That’s why their intellects don’t work while doing bad deeds. These vices has got into everyone even in small childrens.
Those who are onto the path towards spirituality and towards cleansing thyselves, will face many situations and difficulties. Maya doesn’t allow you to do great things. Even by your intense will power, you do, you will feel very difficult and exhausted in your way. Maya is so crazy to make you do wrong doings. Maya likes when someone obeys her. Maya likes to make somebody fall into vices.

Baba, the Godfather of all, in the other hand tries to uplift his beloved children from vices, makes them belong to him and converts them into dieties. He is the merciful of all. He teaches us the philosophy of karma and makes us an elevated souls as deities.
But, while moving onto the path of righteousness, sometimes we are unable to imbibe His elevated teachings and do a lot of mistakes. Maya makes us frustrated and stressed because we are not able to follow the God’s teachings. Maya makes us cry in distress. That’s why we consider Maya/ravan as our enemy and we make his effigy and burn it every year. But burning an effigy donot actually kill the maya. Maya resides within ourselves and burning it’s physical effigy doesn’t kill the actual Maya. Maya has to be understood thoroughly and has to be burned from inside. This is possible by the implementation of spiritual knowledge given by the God into one’s lifestyle.

God again says Maya comes to teach you a lesson and so you should not be afraid but learn that lesson. For example- Maya sometimes comes to make the lesson of tolerance firm and sometimes the lesson of being an embodiment of peace firm. Therefore, instead of considering Maya to be an enemy, think of her as being co-operative and you will not become nervous or defeated. As Krishna is seen dancing on the 5 headed snake. The snake is poisonous but Krishna taught it so that it became Krishna’s ally. In the same way understanding Maya and learning from her will make you unshakeable as Angad. Also never become weak or invoke Maya and she will bid you farewell.
So remain in silence from inside and outside so that you can understand all the processes of Maya/ravan, how she works, what are her weaknesses and then act accordingly. The greatest difficult work in this whole world is to understand Maya and defeat Maya. That’s what God is teaching and that’s what God is establishing, a place where peace and happiness are upto the level. No worries, no problems of pollution, population, nature being cooperative. Everything will be fine and good.
Etablishment of deity like qualities should start from within first and then automatically it will transform the environment around us. So, doing meditation during the morning hours will help a lot.
