When the demon king Ravana
was attacked by Lord Rama and was nearing his death, Rama asked his brother
Lakshman to go to him and learn something which no other person except an
erudite Brahmin like Ravana could ever teach him. Ravana told three mantras to lakshman on his deathbed...
1.Shubhasya Shighram
( Good Work to be started as early as possible) : The First mantra of Ravana to
laxman- Ram’s Brother is Subhasya Shighram. He told Lakshman was that one
should complete any auspicious work as soon as possible and keep delaying the
inauspicious work as much possible.
2 –Respect your enemy
and don’t underestimate them: The second thing he taught Lakshman was never
to underestimate one’s enemy. He said that he did this mistake of understanding
the monekys and bears lesser or incompetent and he lost the battle against
them.
He said, when he asked Lord Brahma to make him immortal,
he said no one else except for monkeys and human could kill him. This is
because he believed that both these living beings were not capable to kill him.
This was his mistake and he suffered life as a result.
3 – Secrecy
should be remain Secret : The third and final thing Raavan told
Lakshman that one should not reveal one’s life secret to anyone in the world.
Here also Raavan made a mistake as Vibhishan knew the secret of his death. Raavan
knew this was his biggest mistake of life.
These three rules are very
much relevant to today’s world. Whether
it is your personal life or professional life, these three rules should always
be kept in mind.
