00:00A Ravan effigy every year is a reminder of the same thing that the Ravan is never fully dead.
00:08Otherwise, you should be asking that what absurdity it is.
00:14Did not Ram complete the job?
00:17I mean, he killed him quite decisively, right?
00:23And the texts illustrate that his final rites and the entire funeral,
00:28all of that was carried out in the usual and due way.
00:32So how come we are still killing him every year when he is already gone?
00:39That's a good demonstration.
00:41I don't know whether it was intended, but fits in nicely is what I am saying.
00:45That Ravan is never fully dead.
00:49But still, the matter can be settled only in the direction of defeat of Ravan,
00:55though he will never be fully defeated.
00:57Which means you have to defeat him every year.
01:00When it comes to the festival, the frequency of successive defeats is yearly.
01:06When it comes to the individual, the frequency of defeats has to be continuous, moment to moment.
01:14Ravan returns.
01:15You kill him, he returns.
01:16You kill him, he returns.
01:17Kill him, he returns.
01:18But still, it can be settled only in the direction of the defeat of Ravan.
01:24It cannot be settled in the direction of defeat of Ram.
01:27Because Ravan is Dushpur.
01:30Even defeating Ram would not setiate him.
01:35He will next try to find a bigger enemy.
01:38He will say, I have to, you know, now challenge Mahadev.
01:41Or somebody.
01:43The entire universe is insufficient when it comes to desire.
01:50You
