Recently released ‘Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader’ is a movie which I would not have visited on my own. But my wife loved it and hence we had to watch it. I expected the movie to be made up of some fairy tales and imaginative explorations. But a part of it made me stop, sit and think.
In the movie, a group of friends were attempting for victory against difficulties. Just before the group was to make its final attempt, the instruction they got was something like this: “In order to make victory over external enemies; you will first have to defeat enemies inside you. All your internal fears and wrong feelings would come to haunt you and unless you win over them, you won’t be able to reach your destination.” And it happened exactly like that. This episode has such a profound meaning!!!
Victory over our internal enemies like fear, envy, hatred, disrespect, dishonesty, treachery, procrastination, or unjust desires is in fact more important than defeating external enemies. I think our victory over external enemies is temporary, while only victory over inner enemies is true victory. But again, such a victory won’t be permanent in the sense that wrong temptations keep haunting us as long as we exist. This is why success is a journey and not an aim…
Thank you Narnia…
