Kama (desire) is a three-headed
demon; when you win your desire, you develop lobha
(greed) to retain the gain and see that it multiplies; when
you are defeated in desire, you develop krodha
(resentment or anger). Kama, lobha and krodha are all forms
of rajoguna (quality of passion and activity), the feverish
activity that ignores the ‘means’ while
concentrating on the ‘end’. Rajoguna
pursues the goal, but is not particular about the
correctness of the path. Lanka was a land that reverberated
with the recitation of the Vedas; its air was thick with
sacrificial smoke. Yet the demons living there were wicked.
Rituals must result in righteousness; otherwise, it is only
rigmarole. Ravana sought to gain Prakrithi, not
Purusha (the manifestation not the Manifestor), and
so his life became futile.
