Mara (Demon) and the Virtuous

According to Theravada Buddhist Studies, Mara (Demon) in the world of the divine beings, wants to control all of the beings not to escape from the rebirth and death (Samsara).So, sometimes, he disturbs anyone in his bad actions. Even nowadays, he does it continuously. However, he cannot find the path taken by the virtuous without any defilement. 

"Mara (Demon) cannot find the pathway taken by those being endowed with virtue, who live mindfully, and have been liberated themselves from defilement s in Right Wisdom."
