"Win your own self before you win over the world'' is an old adage. When the mind loses its discipline, it gets tempted by greed, attachment, selfishness and commits mistakes. The six internal enemies within us push us on to the wrong path. One needs to overcome this with faith in God. Because of the wrong deeds committed in our past lives, we now experience the resultant pain and pleasure. But God has given us wisdom and discretion to select good or bad. We have to keep intellect on the right path, control our emotions and walk with firm faith in God. To err is human. Yet, the noble quality lies in knowing one's fault after careful self-analysis and then rectifying it.
Sometimes we see a husband who severely abuses his wife for trivial offences. We have to rein in the fury of emotions and awaken the power of thinking with open-mindedness. We should pray to God and repent for our bad behaviour. Besides, we should apologize to the one whom we did hurt by our sharp tongue. The greatest achievement lies in not conquering the world, but conquering our mind. Those who experience peace by restraining their senses and mind have acquired spiritual success. God helps us conquer our weak character if we make a little effort. Wisdom lies in making constant self-criticism of our behaviour and resolving to tread the right path.
