Conclusion: Victory Is Self-Knowledge
The six enemies are not conquered by force.
They are conquered by self-inquiry.

• Kabir demands honesty: ego must die.
• Vemana insists on practice: wisdom must show in life.
The inner enemy is not outside.
The battlefield is within.
And the victory is the discovery of what you are beyond all enemies.
