The Battle Within and Beyond

Developing Inner and Outer Strength for Victory

Man faces two types of enemies in life: external enemies who spread falsehood and internal enemies of sensory impulses. To conquer both, one must develop inner strength through yoga, meditation, and self-study, and outer strength through physical exercise, mental training, and social and economic development.

The Greatest Battle: Conquering One’s Senses

The greatest battle man faces is conquering his own senses. The senses drive man to accumulate wealth and control others for his own pleasure. If man wins this battle, he will have no other enemies to conquer. He will lead a happy and prosperous life, inspiring others to do the same.
