3 last words of Wisdom from Ravana-The King of Lanka!

When Ravana was on death-bed, Lord Rama urged Laxmana to learn from Ravana- The great intellectual. The sotry goes like this-

Laxmana stood by Ravana’s head and asked for the learnings, but was refused. Ravana spoke his secret words of wisdom only when Laxmana stood by his feet i.e a gesture of student respecting his master. Ravana told Laxmana three main secrets, which are powerful and can be applied in real life even today! The secrets were as follows:-

1. Don’t delay in completing any auspicious work. Whereas, keep delaying the inauspicious work as much possible.

Do good first, pushing the bad away. This piece of advice is applicable for prioritizing the daily tasks. Doing good for the welfare of all must be of utmost priority. Doing good and expecting no return is really helpful because you will be performing actions without getting attached. Do good and good will follow.

2. Never underestimate your enemy.

Never ever underestimate the strength of your enemy. Applicable in today’s world as: People are not what you think they are. They may not necessarily be what they showcase on the social media. Some people only show what they want to. And if this is the case, you never know what your enemy is hiding behind that smile. Therefore, train hard without any assumptions and be prepared for the surprises- which will in fact wont surprise you when the enemy unleashes the hidden powerful weapon.

3. Never reveal Your SECRETS to anyone.

Gone are the days when trust was as valuable as gold. People change in an instant today and you won’t even realize how the secret you told to your best friend is known to everyone publicly! Therefore refrain from telling your secrets to absolutely anybody because the one your trust today may destroy you tomorrow. When even just one person knows about your most reserved power, you will be praised only till the person is your friend. The time he becomes a foe, you are in trouble because your opponent now exactly knows your limits and if he/she will plan to fight you, be prepared to lose because you had already opened up about yourself.

This does not mean being reserved altogether. This just means not to open up with people so much that they know your limits.

These were the 3 secrets told by Ravana to Laxman when he was nearing death. These words can transform lives if applied in real life.

I hope these 3 things added value to your knowledge. Thanks for reading!
