An internal battle .......................Nectarean Mellows
We are all in a war against Maya and what is the war against Maya? - it’s the war against the asuras within our heart. Yes? It’s an internal battle, its Kurushetra going on within all of us. If we are not fighting that means we have surrendered to the Kurus. Arjuna didn't want to fight, just let things be peaceful but then Duryodhana and the kurus would just continue to reign. So, within our hearts, unless we are fighting that means we are letting Maya just completely have total control, without any resistance, to rule our lives. That’s what this world is - it’s under the rule of Maya. So we are fighting, and we are warned, it’s the first offense against the Holy Name to blaspheme. We blaspheme when we take somebody to be ordinary, avaishnava. We think we can say anything, do anything, it doesn't matter. It’s a type of selfishness, a type of ego. But what happens when you don't appreciate the blessings we receive and because of that lack of appreciation, we misuse it, we offend it then we lose the war, Krsna withdraws His potency to protect us, He withdraws His powers to protect us and we fall down - individually, collectively we just lose.

Humility is not just a part of devotional service; it is the heart of devotional service.
To see a Vaishnava and not become happy is an offence. – Skand Puran
It is important to remind ourselves that at the end of the day, all we really have is each other.
