It is the hostile forces
In the inner world —Not those in the outer world —
That try to take you awayFrom your spiritual life.
These hostile forces take your faithAnd give you doubt,
Take your securityAnd give you insecurity.
But as long as you are vigilantly cultivatingThe seeds of faith and security
In the inner world,You do not have to worry.
