much heat at midday, so that the people should not sweat. The sun had to obey his orders and adjust his heat and speed. He ordered the moon, “Elsewhere you may wax and wane, but in my Lanka, you should always be full." So, the moon had to change her path. He ordered the wind to clean the roads of Lanka if it wanted to survive. He would not engage any man to clean the roads and the wind god had to do the job. If Ravana had been here, he would have asked Lord Indra not to rain.
So, the forces like Ravana do not abide by the divine discipline. Ravana could be very brave and dynamic. He could have the desired control over the whole world, but if you ask about his internal feelings, you can find his answer in his prayer to Lord Shiva:

So this discrimination is in my mind - to grab the garland of pearls and to kill the snake when I see one. When I see my subjects, I think that they are worthless creatures, but when I look at myself as their king, I am filled with pride! These are my contradictions. I cannot be peaceful and happy until I can equalize this mental state." He further said, "When shall I reach that moment when I can treat the rocky naked earth and the cushioned velvet bed as the same, the lotus eyed damsels and a dry blade of grass lying on the road as the same? When will this mental approach of equality dawn on me?" He also asked, “When shall I be able to see the same Almighty in all, big and small, and so become happy? That will be my happiest moment, when this mental state is achieved."
In order to achieve this peace, the learned sages say that you have to be oriented towards that. Practically, the word
