Earning is nothing before the means of Earning

This quotation was quoted by 'Chaganti Koteswara Rao' garu in his discourse on Sampoorna Ramayanam (whose discourse you can find on Youtube - You would definitely learn from it if you understand telugu)

The example he quotes regarding the statement above is that 'Ravana' who is the villian or the lead negative character in Ramayana has all obtained all the things which have glorified his Lanka (the place where he lived) were bought in an unrighteous (adharma) manner. Say, Pushpaka chariot (pushpaka vimanam) is given as gift to Lord Kuvera/Kubera (Lord of Wealth) from Lord Brahma (The Creator) for his tapasya (say one form of prayer).
The above story states that the pushpaka chariot belongs to Kuvera (who is elder brother of Ravana indeed) but Ravana wanted to possess any valuable thing thought it belonged to him/not by his prowess/power gained through his tapasya which has costed him his life, How?

Once, Ravana was flying on Pushpaka chariot over Mt. Kailasa where Lord Shiva resides in due to his respect pushpaka was not allowed to fly above his residence/residing place, Ravana has asked for the reason of not being allowed to fly which was informed to him by his messengers saying that as Lord Shiva resides here pushpaka cannot fly at any cost.

Ravana didn't know the greatness of Lord Shiva and wanted to meet him ... (cont. in the next post)
