Ravan is the most intelligent person having fine intellectual skills, acquired the knowledge of all the Vedas and considered as the great learner, having a fine understanding of discrimination between right and wrong but only one thing became the cause of his fall i.e. his lust for women. He raped his own Bhabi the wife of Kubera, raped all the appsaras lived in the Heaven, Killed his own brother Kubera, killed all the Rishis doing yagya for gods and put their blood on a pot. Then dumped it in the ground. Later Janak worshipped for a child. Lord Brahma told him to plough the fields without dress during the morning time, then they found a little girl child crying in the field. This Girl child was no one but the blood of rishis collected in the pot. Thus the real mother of Sita is Earth and Father is all those Rishis who were killed by Ravana. And later, this girl became the cause of the death of Ravana. Those who said Ravana is good are mistakenly exploring the wrong information and showing their intellectual bankruptcy. Whatever, He did due to his competitiveness.
Lucifer becomes Satan due to his competitiveness and rebeled against the God. Then turned to be a serpent and betrayed Adam and Eve. Son of God was sent to save the children of Adam and Eve who is now worshipped as Christ. He didn't compete rather enhance his True self and led Himself toward Self realization and later turned to be selfless and philanthropic. Whatever arguments anyone can give and whatsoever anyone tends to justify but Right is right and wrong is wrong. Due to competitiveness, Suyodhana turned to be Duryodhana, due to competitiveness Lucifer an angel turned to be Satan the Master of Demons, due to competitiveness Kansa killed six sons of Devki, due to competitiveness people are creating a conspiracy. Due to competitiveness Cassius plotted a conspiracy against Ceaser. Competitiveness is a crime.
Do we really need to be competitive to be successful? I don't think so because in actuality there is only one truth that is God or we can say the pure self. If everything is one then why to compete and with whom to compete! Lord Krishna in Mahabharata told Arjuna that his duty is just to do his work and nothing else because every action leads us toward somewhere. He very wisely told Arjuna that though with doing krama one cannot be influenced by its impression because then detach ourselves from the result of the krama and consequence is, we keep remain free from our all actions or we can say krama Mukta just like Janaka.
I can simplify it with the help of one of the stories which I read in a book written by Swami Shivananda "Karma Yoga." In it, he told us about a story of two young men. Both are strong and healthy and living a life of Bhramcharya. One day both are doing Pranayama in the riverside of Kashi suddenly they found two women drawing in the river. Both of the young boys jumped together and save the life both of the women and took them towards the riversides. The first young man said, "Almighty has given me an opportunity to serve you. Thank you very much for providing me with an opportunity to help you." After saying these lines he left the place. But the second young man said to another woman, "Because I saved your life and according to shastras those who can save your life can be able to be your husband. So I am offering to you to marry me." The woman decided to marry the second young man.
Now the actions are same but the Bhavas or intentions are different. The first one though did the same action which the second one did. But the first one is not influenced by his action whereas the second one is badly tied himself with the result of his action. So, friends, this is Nishkam karma yoga.
Thus competitiveness need not be required for performing an action and with the help of Karam yoga, we can save ourselves from the result of our action either good or bad.
Thank you
