THE INVULNERABLE FORTRESS

The birth of a man is due to his mixed Karmas--a mixture of good and evil. Every man will have to meet dangers and calamities at some period in his life. He who is endowed with fortitude will bear them until a calm mind and a smiling countenance.
Fortitude is a sweet, mysterious spiritual mixture of courage, calmness, patience, presence of mind arid endurance. It is a virtue born of Sattwa. It gives great strength of mind to aspirants who tread the path of action.
