Shadow
Lest we forget (paraphrasing Sri Aurobindo) you don’t have to take on the shadow of the whole world,
or wrastle anyone else’s demon, that’s not your job.
You have your part to play on this spinning planet, you have a mission-quest on the Great Earth, and it
is to conquer and convert your own shadow. The dark, conniving ego that is trying to prevent
you from realising your mission, is the very part you need to overcome in order to bring about complete victory.
And because the key to this triumph is within you, “you can fight it directly, immediately”.
