The hardest war is not the one
fought against the world.
The hardest war is the one —
fought in the depths of the mind.
This war does not take place outside;
it arises within.
There is no battlefield,
no sword,
no bloodshed —
yet it shatters a person from within.
This is the war of the mind.
Thoughts colliding.
Beliefs falling apart.
Fears spreading.
The ego clashing with itself.
It is that state
which splits a person into two —
one part that is afraid,
and another that wants to fight.
One part that wants to run away or end itself,
and another that wants to face the truth.
In this war, the enemy is oneself,
and the warrior is oneself.
The wounds are inflicted within,
and the scream is silenced within.
From the outside, everything appears normal.
The face smiles.
The body moves.
Words are spoken.
But inside — the mind grows weary.
When this inner struggle becomes unbearable,
then the importance of the Satguru is understood.
The Satguru is not an external support,
but a mirror to the light within.
He does not end the war —
he awakens the warrior.
Through the grace of the Satguru, one realizes
that the real battle is not with anyone else,
but with one’s own ignorance.
The one who truly knows oneself
attains wisdom.
That one awakens.
That one conquers the mind.
For the greatest victory
is the victory over oneself.
