Question: How can we keep our door closed to hostile forces?
Sri Chinmoy: By becoming more open to the positive forces. If the goal is in the north, then you should walk towards the north and not go to the south. But if you walk towards the south one day, then you will be lost. Just walk towards the goal and you will reach the goal.
Sri Chinmoy, Transformation of the ego, Agni Press, 1977
