Ramayan: Why did Lord Rama send Lakshmana to the same Ravana to take knowledge after Ravana slaughter? Because Rama knew that the war may have ended, but the biggest war of life is of ‘ego vs. knowledge’. And Ravana was the biggest example to lose in this war. Rama wanted Lakshman to learn from his mistake, not from the enemy.
When Lord Rama killed Ravana in battle, Ravana’s body remained in the battlefield. Ravana was not an ordinary demon, he was Shiva devotee, extremely knowledgeable, the passing of the Vedas and the ultimate Shiva devotee of Ravana. He had received a bride from Brahma ji and he was also a knowledgeable of ethics, Ayurveda, codes and astrology.
Lord Rama was not only called Maryada Purushottam, he also respected the great scholar of one time, not only an enemy, he wanted Laxman not to see that body only from the enemy’s point of view, but also understand the light of the knowledge hidden in it.
Ram’s order
When Ravana was dead in the battlefield, Rama said to Laxman:
Guru Prachha Sustrastranam Ravanam Paramam Dwijam.
Nanya: Panditatameti like Ravanapungva:
(Ramayana)
Earth-Lakshman! Go and learn something from Ravana, the knowledgeer of this great Brahmin, Vedas. He is no longer our enemy. He is now an esoteric knowledge, whose policy is probably not in anyone else.
Lakshmana was amazed by this order of Lord Rama, the demon who killed Sita, on which we fired arrows, have to learn from the same? Ravana was the death of death, Laxman took his final education from him. The three sentences of Ravana, which are still the summit of policy, were these sentences? Know-
Laxman first went towards Ravana’s head and questioned. Ravana remained silent. Then Rama said to Lakshmana, if you are going to take knowledge, then do not ‘enemy’, consider it as ‘Guru’ and sit at his feet.
Then Lakshmana sat down, and Ravana said three sentences:
- Good work should never be postponed.
- As much as bad work should be avoided.
- The enemy should never be considered weak.
These three mistakes caused the fall of Ravana and learn these three, Laxman shown the depth of life.
What died with Ravana? Only body … no knowledge!
Rama knew, Ravana may be arrogant, but he was also a unique scholar, policyman and Shiva devotee. It was necessary to kill him, but did not abandon his knowledge.
This is the same vision that makes Rama Maryada Purushottam, where there is justice, but also compassion. Where there is enmity, but also the ability to learn.
Why are these education necessary in today’s era?
Today, when ideologies are fighting, when ‘disagreement’ is considered as ‘enmity’, then this view of Ram is the biggest mantra for us. That is, don’t look who is saying, look what he is saying. Even if it is Ravan!
Rama killed Ravana, but did not kill Ravana’s experiences. By sending Laxman to the enemy, he gave birth to the culture of taking education from the enemy too. And this is the real victory of Ramayana, not on ego, but on reverence for knowledge.
