King, he is the strength not of me only but of you as well, and of the strong, and of all the rest. All these beings, high and low, moving and standing, Brahma and the others, he has brought under his hand. He is the Lord, he is time, he is the wide-strider; he is vigour, endurance, clarity, force, and the senses themselves. He alone, the highest, by his own powers puts the world forth, keeps it, and eats it, being lord of the three strands. Let go this demon temper of yours. Hold your mind even. There are no enemies, except a self unmastered and standing on the wrong road. That is the great worship of the Endless.

Some have not beaten the six robbers who plunder them, and think they have won the ten directions. But for one who has mastered himself, who knows, who is the same to all who wear bodies, where would enemies come from? They rise out of his own confusion.
