Conflicting

 

The war within.

Chandogya Upanishad. 8.12.1

The body mortal always gripped by death, within dwells the immortal self. This self when associated is our consciousness with our body, is subject to pleasure and pain. And so long as this association continues, freedom from pleasure and pain can no man find. 

Mandaka upanishad. 3.1.1_3.

Two birds, united always and known by the same name, closely cling to the same tree. One of them eats the sweet fruit, the other looks on without eating.

Seated on the same tree, the jiva moans, bewildered by his impotence. But when he beholds the other, the lord worshipped by all, and his glory, he becomes free from grief.

When the seer beholds the self luminous creator, the lord, the purusha  the progenitor of Brahma. Then he the wise seer shakes off good and evil, becomes stainless, and reaches the supreme unity.

Bhagvad Gita 16.6

There are two orders of creation . One divine the other demonic.

Mahabharata

I know what is good but I am not inclined to do it.

I know also what is bad but I do not refrain from doing it.

 I just do as I am prompted to do by some divine spirit standing in my heart.

Bhagvad Gita 6.5_6

Man should discover his own reality and not thwart himself.

For he has the selfas his only friend, or as his only enemy.

A person has the self as a friend when he has conquered himself, but if he rejects his own reality, the self will war against him.
