I loved the way whole of Ravan's battle and his final moments were shown. It was beautifully symbolic.
A person who has pride believes he is above others. That he is in the sky. He forgets the earth. But to be frank wherever you are, whoever you are your last moments will be on this earth only. Your mortal remains will be there in earth only. Not in sky. That's the truth. The final resting place of your body is dhara or earth.
A man believes once he reaches sky he doesnt have to come back to earth. He can stay away from earth, eternally in sky .
Bhumija comes to Lanka through sky. A woman so connected with earth is snatched from her familiar surroundings and brutally taken via sky to a place where people see only the sky and not the earth they walk. And Bhumija brings all of them back to earth, while she goes back with her loved one via sky.
Ravan says to Laxman in the end. Yes you will get all wealth and power. But you should have a detachment towards them. You have to know you get it because of your knowledge to do certain type of work. Once you misuse it. Once you see it as your entitlement then pride takes over you. Your knowledge dies and in the end it takes down everything you has. At the last moment you will realize what you have done.
Interestingly what we need to see here is that Ravan realizes what he has done. But Dury he never realizes, even at the last moment he wants to take revenge from Pandavas and sends Aswathama.
And Aswathama he goes for the fetus in Uttara's womb which makes Shri Hari even deny moksha for him.
One thing we need to know that as per Prakriti if a criminal is living that means Lord is unwilling to grant him mukthi. Because he has to suffer more in the life for what he has done. Once you realize your mistakes and when all your bad karma is paid with mukthi comes. Till then you suffer.
In MB, Bhishma is given the bed of arrows and forced to see the vinaash of his vansh. Why. His mistakes are more and all of them need to be paid before mukthi can come to him. Whereas Drona and Karna gets a much easier death.
And it is because of this reason I had somehow made peace with Nirbhaya's juvenile criminal is being let of. Because yes he escaped the hands of law. But can he escape the laws of Prakriti. We may not know. But Prakriti will catch up with him and make him pay for every drop of tear Nirbhaya shed, that I am sure. Till that happens death wont come to him.
Tum Se Tum Tak
