Forced by the imminent death, Ravana didn’t pay attention to the wise words of Maricha and took the later along with him to Rama’s home in the forest.

-Sri Swamiji (20.6.10)

However, Maricha told Ravana, “It is not proper to create enmity with Rama who is very powerful.” Saying so, Maricha tried to stop the suicidal plot of Ravana.

-Sri Swamiji (19.6.10)

This is an example of Rama’s tenacity of truthfulness and self control.
