When we fight against injustice and win, don't we get ego and fall in spiritual path?

[A question by Ms. Thrylokya]

Swami replied:- When we fight against injustice, we must see that we are fighting against the injustice as servants of God. Without the grace of God, we cannot fight against injustice because sin is very powerful, which is the main constituent of injustice. Rajas and Tamas constitute injustice and Sattvam constitutes justice. Justice has only one-third strength and injustice has two-third parts of strength. Justice has lesser strength than injustice. Justice is a devotee of God and injustice is against God due to its rajas that is the basis for ego. Hence, a soul cannot fight against injustice by its own strength. If a soul thinks that it defeated injustice, it is completely the illusion of the soul. Justice surrendered to God Datta in the form of a soft-natured cow and hence, God Datta is always seen with a cow behind Him.
