“Knowing the Self to be higher than the mind, steady yourself by your own self, and strike down this enemy, so hard to defeat, that wears the face of desire.”

The chapter's last line is a call to stand somewhere higher than your own mind. There is a self above the intellect, it says; steady yourself there, and face the opponent that wears the face of desire.

It reads like fighting talk, and the fight is inward. Nothing on the battlefield is asked to bleed; the only enemy the chapter names lives behind your own eyes.
