00:00Look at Ram. Would you have remembered Ram without Ravan?
00:03Ram would have been an insignificant prince.
00:06Went to the jungle, came back, full stop.
00:08Ravan immortalized Ram.
00:11Otherwise, it would have been a pleasant story, but not an immortal story.
00:15And on his deathbed, Ravan says,
00:17This is probably the only way I could have gained my liberation through him.
00:21My ego is such that it would have allowed me to directly prostrate to him.
00:26Hanuman loves it when Ram touches him, doesn't he?
00:28But Hanuman has ego of a particular kind.
00:32He is a simple, straightforward being.
00:34Ravan is a different kind of being.
00:36So he says, if you want to touch me, hit me.
00:38These things cannot be measured on a moral scale.
00:41Ram's arrows piercing Ravan's heart are like the eyes of the deity piercing the heart of the devoted.
