Our Vedic Scriptures warn us from every stages of our life, how to stay alert and avoid sins. But sometimes our anger, lust and greed become so high we can not even think of what actually we are doing and if someone warn us we try to offend them also.
Ravana was a very scholar a great devotee of Lord Shiva and got boons from Lord Brahma too and that is why he was very much puffed up by his knowledge, position and false ego.
Due to that, he started offending others and that was the beginning of his end.
First, he offended Nandi the carrier of Lord Shiva by saying, how ugly you looks and Lord Shiva sit upon you look at my carrier Pushpak Viman so beautiful and runs like anything.
Nandi cursed Ravana, the day will come when monkey will be the cause of your destruction.
Second, he offended Anaranya the king of Ayodhya in the dynasty of Ikshvaku and King Anaranya cursed Ravana saying, One day the great warrior will take birth in my dynasty and kill you.
Third, he offended Vedvati the grand daughter of Guru Vrihaspati, Ravana's biggest weak point was women, he was very lusty and always looking for women to enjoy and he touched Vedvati who was engaged in austerity to please Lord Vishnu and she cursed, In future I will take birth as a girl child and that will be cause of your destruction. And Vedvati took birth in the form of mother Sita.
Fourth, Ravana forcefully tried to enjoy with her daughter in law Rambha (wife of Nalkubera) and Nalkubera cursed to Ravana, from now on wards if you touch any woman without her permission your body will be in pieces.
Fifth, there is a saying, if you learn from your past mistakes then mistakes are good but Ravana was not such type of person he was repeating the same mistake again and again. Finally he did a big mistake and that caused his death. He kidnapped mother Sita and that was his count down.
Here we can see, how a great scholar a devotee of Lord Shiva fall down and become victims of Lust, Anger and Greed.
If we become arrogant and puffed up by our scholarly position then we try to offense elders and disrespect women and then our fall down is for sure.
We should not collect curse but blessing, Ravana accumulated cursed and that is why his all pious activities gone into vain.
