Purport

There are always two kinds of men in this universe, not only on this planet but also in higher planetary systems. All the kings dominating planets like the sun and moon also have enemies like Rāhu. It is because of occasional attacks upon the sun and moon by Rāhu that eclipses take place. The fighting between the demons and demigods is perpetual; it cannot be stopped unless intelligent persons from both sides take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Both parties, extremely angry, with hatred for each other, met on the battlefield and attacked each other with swords, arrows and a variety of other weapons.

Personal Guidance

The fighting between demons and demigods is perpetual — unstoppable until intelligent persons on both sides take to kṛṣṇa consciousness. Civilizational conflict has only one final resolution. Treaties end episodes; kṛṣṇa consciousness ends the cycle.

Reflection Questions

What perpetual conflict in my life will only end with a deeper spiritual shift on both sides?
Where am I treating a temporary peace as a final solution?
