Revolution is only truly revolution if it is a continuous struggle-not just an external struggle against an enemy, but an inner struggle, fighting and subduing all negative aspects which hinder or do damage to the course of the revolution. In this light, revolution is. . . a mighty symphony of victory over the enemy and over oneself.
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
