What is the eternal warfare that takes place in every life? Why should we be
aware and diligent about it? Bhagawan lovingly gives us a profound message
today.
Ravana (the villain in Ramayana) sought wealth and
gratification of desire, utterly violating the principle of dharma.
He was a scholar par excellence. He had mastered the sixtyfour disciplines of learning whereas Rama had mastered only
thirty-two. However Rama put them into practice and thereby
digested them, whereas Ravana failed to digest them. The
indigestion on the part of Ravana arose in the form of desire
(kama), which ultimately destroyed him. While Rama was the
embodiment of Dharma,Ravana remained as the embodiment
of kama. Thus there arose a conflict between righteousness
and unrighteousness. Rama transformed Himself into the
embodiment of sathya (Truth), since He followed the principle
of dharma. Since Ravana violated dharma, he became the
embodiment of asathya (untruth). There is an eternal warfare
between righteousness and unrighteousness, truth and
untruth. It is your duty to follow and practice the twin
principles of truth and righteousness.
