I Have Become a Hero: Difference between revisions

{{Quote box|width=360px|bgcolor=|align=left|quoted=1|salign=right|quote=Life is to fight. Now when one starts fight, then he becomes a man in human structure. He is no longer a brute in human structure, he is a man in human structure. And in that phase he says: "O Lord, by Your mercy, by Your grace, I have become a hero, I have started fighting against debasing forces functioning within my mind, functioning within my family, functioning within the society. So by Your grace I have become a hero. I am a hero, I am a ''viira'', thou art ''Viireshvara'' [Lord of Heroes]."|source=Shrii Shrii Anandamurti}}

Anandamurti starts the discourse by saying that only when a man starts to battle against malicious forces within and without his mind, He can truly be called a man. Anandamurti then says that ''sádhaná'' is a fight between two forces: a centripetal force (Vidyá) and a centrifugal force (Avidyá). Anandamurti goes on explaining that the weapons of a ''sádhaka'' are the ten principles of morality, [[Ananda Marga#Discipline|Yama and Niyama]]. With the help of ''jiṋána'' (knowledge), ''karma'' (action), and ''bhakti'' (devotion), his goal of merging in the Supreme will be attained.<ref name="AV34"/>
