The greatest battle

It is true that there have been two world wars. and from listening and observing it is quite clear that there is a battle occuring at present which will lead to the third and decisive one is just ahead..

But this external battle is not the greatest battle. the greatest battle is the one occuring within myself the soul between my servants the mind and intellect. the mind the faculty and servant which i use to create thoughts and experience will not listen. it just desires to continue running after material wants and pleasures. the result of this is that the intellect the faculty which i use to discern has become silent. no longer do i hear the whisper of this internal voice of guidance..

Without this voice its as though the mind is in a state of auto pilot. it pays no attention to the needs of the self for it is preoccupied with the wants of the body. but i know that without the power of discernment of the intellect this habitual running after things of the material which come and go shall continue and thus the experience of spiritual pain and discomfort. so..i must sit and be still. i must sit be still and observe the thoughts of the mind and bring it under control through the discernment of the intellect
