One weekend at a gathering, someone asked me if I practice Ahimsa—non-violence. As a Yogi, I do. But let’s be real: the world is not yet ready for Ahimsa. Evil still walks the earth. There are those who would attack the harmless, manipulate the weak, steal from the defenseless—or worse. I know, because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to suffer.
That is why I train in martial arts. Not out of ego. Not to seek fights. But to stand as a shield against injustice. To protect myself. To protect others. To prevent damage before it begins. And I teach others the same—so they too can defend themselves, protect the weak, uplift the fallen, and cultivate a strength guided by wisdom.
Martial arts is not just kicking and punching—it is a way of navigating life. It’s how you face difficult people such as coworkers, demanding customers, and daily challenges with clarity, strategy, and emotional intelligence. Every day becomes a battlefield, a living Bhagavad Gita—Kurukshetra (कुरुक्षेत्र), the Cross—where the true fight is within. Martial arts trains not only the body, but the spirit.
On the world stage, even leaders are sometimes forced to act—not for conquest, but to restore balance—as we saw with Trump and the Iran–Israel ceasefire. The truth is simple: the world is not yet ready for universal non-violence.
So I remain the Warrior-Yogi.
Better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener caught in a war.
True mastery requires knowing both shadow and light. We prepare for battle—but always aim for peace. This is the way of the modern spiritual warrior.
This age is not yet ready for ahimsa (nonviolence). Therefore, be prepared to defend oneself, others, and country, not with ego, but with love.
I fight like Christ—with love in my heart, never hatred.
If you fight with anger and hatred you poison yourself and the enemy wins.
“The true warrior does NOT fight for ego or vengeance, but for duty—with love in his heart, clarity in his mind, and divine purpose in his soul. He sees God even in his enemy, and strikes only to protect, never to hate.”
“Holiness Consists Simply In Doing God’s Will, And Being Just What God Wants Us To Be.”
— St. Therese Of Lisieux
In a world that glorifies ego, self-interest, and external validation, the path of dying to self may seem like a paradox—yet it is the most liberating journey you can ever take. To die to self is not a physical death, but the surrender of pride, control, selfish desire, and personal agenda. It is the conscious choice to align your will with the divine, to become a vessel through which love, truth, and healing can flow into the world.
This is the path of the angelic warrior.
What It Means to Die to Self
I die so that You may live through me
Dying to self is a process of transformation. It means letting go of the false identity—the one shaped by fear, greed, trauma, or ambition—and awakening to your true nature as a soul created in the image of God. Whether you call this God Christ, Source, the Divine, Krishna, Buddha, or your Higher Self, the essence is the same: a return to the purity of love and service.
Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23)
This isn’t a call to misery—it’s a call to transcendence. In denying the lower self, we rise in the higher self. In surrendering our will, we discover God’s greater will moving through us. And when that happens, we no longer live for ourselves—we live for something far greater: the healing and redemption of the world.
Serving Christ in the World
To serve Christ—or the Christ-consciousness that exists within us all—is to embody divine compassion, humility, and courage. It means standing for truth even when it’s unpopular, choosing love when hatred is easier, and helping others when you’d rather serve yourself.
You become a light in the darkness. A warrior not of bloodshed, but of peace. A guardian not of doctrines, but of hearts.
This doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. It means you are willing. Willing to be broken open so that something higher can emerge. Willing to let your ego die so your soul can live. Willing to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done.”
The Angelic Warrior
The angelic warrior is not merely a metaphor—it is a living archetype that exists within each of us. This is the part of you that remembers your divine origin, your mission, and your duty to defend the sacred.
To be an angelic warrior means:
You fight not with fists, but with forgiveness.
You do not seek revenge, but reconciliation.
You speak truth, even when your voice shakes.
You protect the vulnerable, lift the fallen, and challenge the wicked—not with hate, but with holiness.
Angelic warriors operate in unseen realms as well. Through prayer, meditation, and inner purity, they send ripples of light into the collective consciousness. Your inner work—your healing, your surrender, your discipline—has cosmic consequences.
When you conquer your own darkness, you help dissolve the darkness of the world.
The Daily Battle
Every day is a battlefield between the old self and the new. Between the desire for comfort and the call to courage. Between the voice of fear and the whisper of faith.
Dying to self is not a one-time event—it’s a daily decision. And yet, each time you choose the higher path, it becomes easier. You begin to see the fruits: peace that surpasses understanding, joy not based on circumstance, and the quiet power of walking with God.
The Greater Good and Divine Plan
The world needs more angelic warriors—those who have chosen the narrow road of service, humility, and inner mastery. When you die to the small self, you rise in the greatness God intended for you.
You were not born to blend in. You were born to become a force of divine light.
Every act of service, every prayer, every moment of stillness, and every time you choose love over fear—you advance the Kingdom. Whether seen or unseen, your impact matters.
Final Words
To die to self is to be reborn in spirit.
To serve the greater good is to become the hands and heart of God on Earth.
To be an angelic warrior is to remember who you truly are.
So lay down the sword of ego, and pick up the armor of love. Surrender not to weakness, but to greatness. Walk forward in faith—not to escape the world, but to transform it.
You are not alone. The angels walk with you.
And Heaven is watching.
Saint Michael, often referred to as Archangel Michael, is a prominent figure in Abrahamic religions, particularly Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. He is revered as a powerful angel, a warrior against evil, and a protector of God’s people. He is also considered the guardian of the Catholic Church and a patron of various professions, including police officers and military personnel.

Awakening the Warrior of Light Through the Gita, the Bible, and Daily Love in Action
“Children Of God” – Third Day
“If Satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.” — Corrie ten Boom
We live in a world of endless noise—buzzing phones, relentless to-do lists, emotional drama, digital distractions. This busyness is not just a productivity issue. It is spiritual warfare. The battlefield is not just out there—it’s within. The enemy isn’t always evil. Sometimes, it’s everything else.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna faces his greatest battle—not just against enemies, but against his own confusion, attachments, and despair. Krishna, the Divine charioteer, tells him:
“You are not this body. You are not this mind. You are the deathless Soul.”
This is the eternal war: Ego vs. Soul. And it plays out in every moment of your life.
☠️ Satan’s Subtle Weapon: Busywork and Distraction
“I used to think Satan was only a human invention, but now I know, and add my testimony to that of all those who have gone before me, that Satan is a reality. He is a universal, conscious force whose sole aim is to keep all beings bound to the wheel of delusion.” – Swami Kriyananda
Not all sins are obvious. You don’t need to murder or steal to fall off the path. All it takes is to forget God in your day. All it takes is to react instead of remember.
Sometimes sin looks like…
That fifth mindless scroll through social media.
That argument you knew wasn’t worth it.
That decision made from pressure, not presence.
It’s not always bad things. It’s the good things that are out of order. And the result?
You miss your moment. You miss your growth. You miss your God.
“Balance material and spiritual duties in your life; that will bring you supreme happiness.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
🛡️ The Gita and the Bible Agree: You Must Fight… as a Soul
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” — Proverbs 27:17 “Fight the good fight of faith.” — 1 Timothy 6:12 “Therefore stand firm… having done all, stand.” — Ephesians 6:13
In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna learns to fight—not out of anger, but out of dharma. Dharma is the path of truth and higher purpose. To live by it is to align with your true self, divine order, and the good of all. It brings clarity, power, and peace to every action. In the Bible, believers are told to put on the armor of God and to stand—not in fear, but in faith.
YOU ARE NOT HERE TO ESCAPE THE BATTLE. YOU ARE HERE TO WIN IT.
But you can’t fight as an ego. Ego reacts. Ego gets offended. Ego wants revenge.
THE SOUL LOVES. THE SOUL SEES CLEARLY. THE SOUL STANDS STILL AND KNOWS GOD. THE SOUL IS UNSHAKABLY STRONG.
“Do not fight for ego or with anger—fight for Love, from Love. Wield the sword of clarity and the shield of Divine compassion. Shatter the chains of delusion within yourself and others. Move as Conscious Love incarnate, and your very vibration will burn through karma, awaken truth, and help heal the world.” — Sifu Matt Russo, The Way of the Warrior-Sage: How to Master Yourself and Rule Your World
💔 The Real Sin: Forgetting God in Others
“A new command I give you: Love one another… By this everyone will know that you are my disciples.” — John 13:34–35
“Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me.” — Matthew 25:40
You cannot say you love God and hate your brother. That’s not Christianity. That’s not Dharma. That’s ego wearing a robe of righteousness.
Your test is the person in front of you:
The one who annoys you.
The one who tempts you.
The one who challenges you or triggers your trauma.
That person is your curriculum.Your spiritual dojo. That person is your battlefield. That person is God in disguise.
When you react with anger, you stain your own soul. When you judge, you forget God’s image—in them, and in yourself.
🔥 Technique: Use Your Will to Return to the Divine
“And that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil…” — 2 Timothy 2:26
1. Visualization Practice
See yourself and the “enemy” bathed in golden light. See love flowing from your heart into theirs. Choose to radiate God, even when they do not.
2. Recite Positive Affirmations as instructed by Paramahansa Yogananda
Speak these words aloud with soul-feeling:
“I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am the immortal Spirit.”
“I radiate love and goodwill to soul-friends and soul-strangers alike.”
“God is in me. God is in all. I bow to the God within all.”
3. Meditation: The Warrior’s Inner Armor
In meditation, you develop fudoshin—the unshakable mind. A mind that does not react. A mind that cannot be provoked. A mind that remembers God first.
The one who meditates daily:
Is less reactive.
Is more loving.
Wields divine will—not emotional reactivity.
4. Change Your Environment
Surround yourself with godly, like-minded souls who uplift your spirit and help you remember your higher purpose.
“Environment is stronger than willpower.” — Paramahansa Yogananda
You can have the strongest intention, but if you constantly place yourself in toxic, ego-driven, or spiritually unconscious environments, you will eventually fall. Build a temple of energy around you—through friends, spiritual community, uplifting music, sacred texts, and places of silence. Let your outer world reflect your inner aspiration.
🧘♂️ Namaste: The Final Strategy
“Namaste” means: The God in me bows to the God in you.
Remember this when tempted to lash out. Remember this when judgment arises. Remember this when life becomes war.
Win the real war. The war inside.
💥 Final Word: Be the Soul, Not the Ego
Truth is One: Unity Consciousness recognizes that two seemingly opposing points of view can both be valid.
You are not here to win arguments. You are not here to dominate others. You are not here to prove your worth.
You are here to be the image of God. You are here to become a living Christ. You are here to awaken the Krishna within.
Be the soul in every moment. Let others be tests—not threats. Let the battlefield become your temple.
“When you see Me in all beings, and all beings in Me, then you are never lost to Me, nor I to you.” — Bhagavad Gita 6:30
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
“When we love, when we love, Yes, we’ll only best the devil when we love!” – Swami Kriyananda
And above all… fight the inner battle as a soul—not an ego.
The battlefield of life is won by the warrior of Spirit. You are that warrior.
