It is put very lucidly.. No disagreements.. The crunch lies in the fact that we are, even the best seekers among us are, only progressing towards our vedic-vedantic path to a minuscule and insignificant fraction of the goal.. In this world where pursuit of Vedanta cannot feed us and cater to even the sustenance of our own body in a living condition ( though there are saints and sadhus who are professional and have made fortunes.. their number and success are insignificant) a true seeker will be stumped and stunted.. Not distracted.
The question as to why Ravana should not be worshipped as against Rama, it is only a vithandaavaadam, and there cannot be any answer in our calm and quiet religion. We have to be content that some forays in the path set up by Vedas and vedantas or even sincere yearning to follow such path is in itself a great service.. a great virtue. brother
If there no distraction, life will be monotonous.. will lose its charm.. Like in cricket, the glorious uncertainty is the spice and sweetness of life..
Most of us living beings are the products of distraction..
Visvamitra got distracted.. the sublime product was Shakuntala.. so the distraction was worth it..
Lord Shiva was distracted.. the glorious product is Kumara the Skanda..
Valmiki got distracted by the action of a Hunter.. the product .. Maa nishaada. the Ramayanam.
Distraction happens first.. The result can be attraction or destruction too..
This happened to Kamadeva from Shiva.. and to Kalayavana from Muchukunda the son of Mandaataa..
