Life is truly about defeating oneself, which is fighting lust, subduing ego, failure, despair, pessimism, all that we have to defeat.
So when someone desperately wants to defeat someone else, that is the wrong way. But when you are patient and want to fight to be better, that's where you will be superior to it.
The person who must first be defeated is ourselves, not someone else.
And know, defeating other people is actually a very easy matter, just punch him, or whatever he wants, he will collapse. But, defeating yourself with full policy is we able?
Of course it's hard not, that's why being said to defeat others is easy, and defeating yourself is very difficult.
And if we are wise to explore more deeply, can we overcome ourselves with the utmost from feeling lazy, selfishness, and anger?
It must be difficult, therefore we are required to always try wisely in taming the heart's condition which is sometimes sober, because everything comes from the heart.
Can we defeat ourselves from arrogance, arrogance, riya 'nature, ujub nature, so that we want to humble ourselves as low as possible? Of course it is not easy to remember and refrain from such things.
Because not a few of us are like the above with no sense of consciousness, and the cause is that we cannot defeat ourselves to be more patient and realize that everything is a divine deposit.
And what makes us most insecure is can we defeat ourselves from hatred when someone else hurts?
Because not infrequently we also lose patience and apply anger when the heart cannot be patient when it is hurt, even though the pain is the way for us to be closer to God.
Maybe it's true, everything will be very difficult for us to do, especially if it's about patience and sincerity, because these two things are the most synergistic for our hearts, always wise.
But also know, actually to always be and behave in this way is not a difficult matter, if we ourselves are able to learn and continue to learn.
