I do not know in what context the above remark was made. It is important to know the context, since many of the aphorisms are contextual.
Let me share my take on Satan.
there are certain aspects of our being that we are unable to handle gracefully. Societies in which we live decides to give them a bad name. then the individuals also begin to disown them.
The raw, the rough and tough, the adventurous, the risk taking, the maverick aspects in us are usually condemned. They are either banished or imprisoned. Then they become rebellious.
This is Satan in the moralistic world.
I am not an angel all the time. I often play the devil's advocate. I have been able to help in both roles. It is important to know when to play which role. If we know that, then all is well.
Haven't you experienced both aspects of me? and loved them both?
am I less of a yogi because of that?
Ganoba
