"As practice progresses and understanding grows, the three obstacles and four devils emerge in confusing form, vying with one another to interfere... One should be neither influenced nor frightened by them."

--- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ---

"Dr. N. Radhakrishnan, an Indian scholar and philosopher who has carried on the nonviolent spirit of Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), shared an anecdote about the great leader of Indian independence that I will never forget. In the last year of his life, Gandhi travelled to towns and villages to impart his message of harmony and reconciliation during the bitter conflicts that arose following India's independence [in 1947]. On those journeys, he would often quietly sing the song 'Walk Alone,' based on a poem by Rabindranath Tagore: 'If they answer not to thy call walk alone. ... / With the thunder flame of pain ignite thine own heart / and let it burn alone.'*

"With this song echoing in his heart, Gandhi reached out to the people, proud of his solitary struggle, unafraid of facing persecution or isolation.
