SEEK YOUR INNER DIVINITY: DON’T LET DEMONIC POWERS OVERPOWER YOU

- Khushwinde­r Singh Surya Innervoice@hindustant­imes.com

In Indian mythology there have always been two big powers - divine and demonic, which often clashed. Many a times the demons got stronger and tried to destroy the divine. However, the demons couldn’t find ultimate success in their diabolical intentions because it is the rule and will of nature that the good always prevails over the evil, provided the divine power does not stray from the path of righteousn­ess.

It’s not just in mythology, even in our everyday lives, both powers exist. They inhabit every corner of the universe and even live within each one of us. The struggle between good and evil is a constant in our minds and which of the two we allow to overpower, is completely up to us. But to ensure that the divine power finds its way into our lives, we have to constantly keep looking for it within ourselves and help it to manifest itself.

Even a good human being, who is known as caring, honest and upright may slip if he or she does not turn to their inner self and seek the divine power within. In reality, no human is all good or all bad, who we become is the result of the struggle between the divine and demonic powers inside us that gives us the identity of being good or evil. So, always listen to your inner voice carefully and seek the goodness that exists within you.
