Therefore, when you begin to sit and as your practice intensifies and begins to bear fruit, expect greater resistance from your ego in concurrently stronger and more ingenious ways. With the Buddha, Mara had to go all out with demon armies and luscious daughters etc., but when you begin to practice Mara need only put your leg to sleep or cause an itch or a pain and voila - you are distracted. This is Mara’s whole purpose.
