Havana tried all methods to persuade Sita to yield, enter his Zenena and become his consort. He threatened her with instant death; he enticed her with gifts and promise of more. He tried soft words and cruel torture. At last, he hit upon a brilliant idea. He assumed the form of Rama and thought that she would be misled by that impersonation. But as soon as he assumed that form, all evil thoughts fled from him and only ideals of righteousness remained. So he had to give up that trick as useless.
(Quoted from the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
