We become our own enemy when we are thrown out of balance by anger, hatred, grief, or any other intense emotion. We are for the time being obsessed by something alien.
Swami ParamanandaSelf-realisation means that we have been consciously connected with our source of being. Once we have made this connection, then nothing can go wrong.

Swami ParamanandaThere are certain things that have universal attributes, like music. Something of greater magnitude is conveyed by them. They connect us with the universal storehouse of life and knowledge.
