Acharya Prashant explains that throughout the entire Ramayana, neither Ram, nor Sita, nor Lakshman are ever seen laughing boisterously. He notes that one might yearn to see Ramchandra laugh out loud or guffaw, but he does not laugh at all. In contrast, all the demons (Rakshasas), including Ravan, no matter how vile or ugly, share a common trait: they enter the scene laughing loudly. One can identify the entry of a demon on stage just by hearing their laughter. The speaker suggests that most people in the world today are not like the sweet and serious Ramchandra, but are seen guffawing all the time. This has always been the identity of demons; they laugh a lot, and their boisterous laughter is their trademark. The laughter of the demons is described as foolish. Even during a battle, when their weapons are cut down, they continue to laugh, not realizing the next arrow will kill them. Just as Ram and Lakshman are never seen laughing, their faces are never seen as ugly or distorted. Conversely, the demons who laugh boisterously one moment have ferocious and violent faces the next, and then cry in pain when struck. The speaker states that this is the story of the common person, whose life has no tension. He explains that the demons have bid farewell to Ram (the divine) in their lives and stand against him, which is why they seem to have no stress and are always laughing. He defines a demon as one who indulges in sensory pleasures and laughs loudly. To be a "meat-eater" is to be a "body-eater," meaning one who consumes all kinds of material things. The one who consumes and laughs loudly is a demon. It is to destroy such people that divine figures like Ram incarnate. The speaker concludes by quoting Shri Krishna from the Gita: "Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and a rise in unrighteousness, O Bharat, then I manifest Myself."
