Against the forces of falsehood and evil, the spiritual army is now being shaped. The forces of evil are all forms of negativity. What do you have to do in order to be a good spiritual soldier?
First of all, don’t be afraid. Although these forces of negativity are within the self as well as in the world, faith in your ultimate victory will give you the strength to face all challenges.
Secondly, pay attention to becoming virtuous, not just to remaining peaceful. Also, stay alert. Alertness is probably the most important characteristic of a successful warrior. Everything within an army depends on alertness – promotion, progress, victory and defeat.
If a soldier is not alert, he’ll be dismissed.
Spiritual alertness will help you to recognise negativity as it comes up. Finally, if even only one soul remains alert, there is then safety for many others.
