Maras are numerous. Maras are powerful. Maras have many deadly weapons.
But when the mind is pure and focused, Maras' are useless against such a person.
Their attacks and weapons can only act upon impure minds. It is therefore necessary to keep the mind guarded at all times with Mindfulness.
Mindfulness makes one aware of the posions of the mind. The remaining 7 of the 8 fold path purifies the mind.
The 8 fold path renders the armies of billions of Maras useless.
That is my view and interpretation of what I observed so far.
