Bhagvaan Raam asks the dying Ravana:
"Why did you make this mistake of abducting Sita ?
Why did you not realise that she is unachievable ?
Why did a knowledgable person like you get pulled to some one who would never become yours ?"
Ravana replies, "Lord, such is the Mahaa Maayaa. Things that are not good for you, seduce you easily. You run towards them impatiently.
But things that are actually good for you fail to attract you. We shun them, creatively finding powerful excuses to justify our procrastinations.
That is why, I was impatient to abduct Sita, but avoided meeting YOU !
