Lord Ram destroyed demon Ravana on this holy day of Dussehra, He rescued the Mother Sita and brought her back to Ayodhya. Although demon Ravana was killed millions of years ago and we may not see him physically present but his mentality still remains to live within our heart in the form of all devouring lust.
Ravana was personification of lust, what not he did to fulfill his sensual propensities, he molested, kidnapped wives of sages, devas, nagas and gandharvas. But the nature of lust is its never satisfied it keeps on increasing and even though he had so many women to enjoy he lusted after property of God Mother Sita, he forgot her real nature, supreme goddess of fortune. Sensuality destroys the intelligence, forgetting real aim of life one only thinks how I can enjoy my senses in better way, this is Ravana tendency. We may not have power or facilities like Ravana to enjoy senses but our desires to enjoy are many times excelling even Ravana.
Ravana was very smart guy, he disguised himself as sadhu, Sita crossed the Lakshman rekha and was kidnaped By Ravana, separating her from Lord. Similarly in our life Ravana won't come in his demoniac form but he will appear as most sober and gentle person and allure us, we will think let's respond to him (various appealing sensual desires for enjoyment). When we responds to such desires (power, name, fame, sex etc), then they show up their ugly and ghastly face, we realize that it was trap and we have got separated from Lord because of not following the orders of Lord and His devotee(Lakshman). That's why it's necessary to follow regulations given by God in scriptures else Ravana is ever ready to capture us.
It's practically very difficult to fight with Ravana with our own strength. Even demigods couldn't do anything, they were menially serving him. Last hope was God, they called out for supreme Lord Ram, who descended to this world to destroy Ravana and rescue Sita. He is the only one who can deal and kill Ravana. We also can't deal with this lust it's so powerful, we are helpless like a Sita in Lanka. Only when Lord Ram descends to our heart in the form of His Holy names then there is hope of destruction of Ravana, all other artificial methods which are like demigods won't help in this age. So let's introspect our heart and search for Ravana who is disguised in the form of enjoyment mentality and destroy him with the Power of Holy Name of Lord Ram.
