The secret to winning any war🔗

Whenever you carry a fear about somebody, if you feel they may attack you or do something harmful to you, try this technique: just sit down and say, 'Abhayam sarva bhootebhyo: I give refuge to the whole world. No being needs to be afraid of me. I am not here to attack anybody.'

You may think, 'When somebody is attacking me, I am the one who is afraid. Why does HE need this reassurance? Understand: the person who is attacking you is already in fear of you. He is carrying that enmity towards you because he has a memory that you hurt him in the past, or he is carrying some insecurity that you will be a threat to him in the future. So he needs to be healed.

So send a strong wave of abhayam sarva bhootebhyo to that person. Visualize every DNA in your body sending this message. Visualize every pore in your body being used as a transmitter for this message. Sit very calmly and still with the thought.

When you send these waves of abhaya, you will see so much of healing happens in you. Even if you need to defend yourself, you will do the minimum but right actions.

When you are agitated, you are also in fear. You do not know which point to touch. When you are completely sending that abhayam sarva bhootebhyo, you will experience such a coolness. You will be like a lubricated cool tool which will cut things in the proper place and in the proper way. Understand, a diamond-studded tool

without lubrication can do the job of cutting only in a haphazard way, in a rough way, and not perfectly. The same diamond-studded tool with the lubrication of abhayam sarvabhootebhyo will cut the negativity into pieces in the right place and in the right way, without it getting agitated or heated. Even as a war strategy, abhayam sarva bhootebhyo is an ultimate strategy, because it goes on lubricating the diamond tool.

This lubrication of abhayam sarva bhootebhyo does two jobs: First, it reduces the anger and enmity the enemy carries towards you, so half of your job is done. Second, if there is a little bit of anger remaining in the enemy, it knows exactly where to hit, and it will have the stability to hit for as long as required.

I tell you, in all possible wars, the greatest strategy is this. It is the exact strategy adopted by Sri Krishna in Kurukshetra. This is the exact strategy adopted by Sri Ramachandra in Lanka. This is the exact strategy all incarnations have adopted, are adopting, and will be adopting in all their fights, in all the wars they wage. Understand the power of abhayam sarva bhootebhyo. The moment you feel it and radiate it through your every pore, the anger and vengeance the enemy carries towards you will disappear. If he is really, really adamant, not interested in letting go, and he is trying to retain a little bit of it, don't worry. Your tool is now lubricated, and it knows where to hit, and it can sustain without getting heated.

See, the tool without lubrication gets heated and gets broken. So the purpose is lost. It doesn’t cut. But the tool which is lubricated knows how to cut, sustains, and finishes the job. It finishes the enemy who is not ready to let go of the enmity.

Let your DNA structure be established in this one truth: I am not an enemy to anybody. I have no enemies. I have no anger. I have no enmity. I am established in ahimsa. I give refuge to the whole world; abhayam sarva bhootebhyo.’

When you are established in abhayam sarvabhootebhyo and play the whole drama, wage the war, you don’t need any weapon or any army. I tell you: this is greatest secret of winning in war and in life.
