Guys watched the yesterday's episode today morning only. Such a beautiful episode which encompassed the idiom pride goes before the fall.
Yes Ravan who was telling Vishnu had to take the form of human and suffer so much to defeat him because he was invincible. He was mocking at Shri Hari. And in the last minute when he knows the truth of who he is I loved what he tells " Shri Hari took so much trouble to give him mukthi and lessen the time to reach back to him to just one more birth . He bows before Shri Hari's compassion.
And Ram the man who fought like anything to kill the tormentor of his wife, once he falls addresses him as a person of great knowledge and asks Lakshman to take the knowledge.
Why Ram asks Lakshman to take the knowledge instead of himself. Because Lakshman is more human. And in asking him to take knowledge from Ravan, Ram shows to the world to people like us even in enemies, even in people doing adharma knowledge exists and at their last moments we have to take it.
It is a way of telling the world to take lessons from people who had all the knowledge in the world, but didnt use it appropriately and which in turn destroyed them. It is to tell us not to repeat their mistakes.
And Ravan tells Lakshman. That it was his pride that did him. I will make a seperate post on Pride. But I loved the way Ravan explained Pride. It was a beautifully crafted episode and both Ashish and Karthik sealed it.
