There is a deep and mysterious purpose behind the formation of this universe. Nobody can stay in the same condition as a result of the inner inspiration of this purpose. Everything dead or alive has to keep moving and anything that does not move gets squashed and destroyed. Even in our bodies there is a constant battle going on amongst atoms at every moment resulting in the production of energy and liveliness. Something new takes shape as a result of meetings and conflicts amongst all of us. There is a unseen subtle battle in these meetings and there is no progress without the presence of these battles. If any soul thinks about it, the soul will find that there has always been the battle of some kind in all the stages of the life. One who wants to aim at spiritual development of one's life, needs this stage of resistance and battle. One can not move forward without it.
It is unheard that the condition of the mind can be changed without the efforts. Mind needs some kind of support to jump out of its trodden path; Mind by itself never changes till confronted with very critical situation. It is of utmost importance for the mind to confront and battle with conflicts, distress, inconvenience, anguish and dukkhas (misery). Then only it can move forward, properly evaluate the situation, and is able to reach higher status from the present level. These conflicts are of different kinds at different level of development. Mind will be always conflicted and wander fruitlessly since mind is based on duality and continues to function at the level of duality. Battle is intricately connected with the formation of the universe and it is needed for its development. Its role in human life will be always there whether one wishes for it or not.

My two cents -- This was written in response to a devotee's mental stress following a painful event in his life. It is based on the holy book Gita where Bhagwan Shree Krishna imparts the knowledge to Arjun in the middle of battlefield.
