Nirav Da MPSC

*🏹 Happy Dussehra! 🔥 There is a folk retelling of the Ramayana in which Ravana lies dying on the battlefield and Shri Ram tells Lakshmana, *“Go and learn from him. A great scholar is leaving this world.”* Lakshmana goes and stands near Ravana’s head. Ravana says nothing. Ram smiles and says, “When you want to learn, you don’t stand at the teacher’s head. You sit at his feet.” Lakshmana sits at Ravana’s feet, and Ravana gives him his last lessons: 1. Don’t delay good work, and do delay the bad. 2. Never underestimate your opponent. 3. Guard your weaknesses and secrets. 📚 The learning for us: Ravana had knowledge, power and Vedic scholarship, but no humility, and that made him fall. *Lakshmana learnt the moment he chose humility.* In our UPSC/MPSC journey, knowledge gets you to the exam hall, but attitude gets you to the service. Burn the Ravana of ego, laziness and procrastination this Dussehra. 🔥 Wishing you and your family a victorious Vijayadashami! 🙏 — Nirav Da
