INNER STRENGTH ENABLES US TO see that from the point of others, we may be the villains. We are the asuras who are troubling the devas; we are not necessarily the devas who need Durga’s help. It is we who have to be beheaded. Our aham is the root cause of the problems around us. Confronting the truth about us is not easy. It needs Shakti. We need to acknowledge that all problems come from fears, our own fears and the fears of those around us. Once we do that, we will be able to evoke the Durga in us, who comforts, protects and empowers the frightened.
