The worldly struggle is outward struggle. The struggle on the spiritual path is inward struggle. No sooner does one take the spiritual direction than the first enemy one meets is one's own self. What does the self do? It is most mischievous. When one says one wants to fight it, it says, "I am yourself. Do you want to fight me?" And when it brings failure, it is clever enough to put the blame on someone else. |
