You need the devil in you (your ego, anger, desire, etc) to make you push your limits of capability. And the God in you (principles, discipline, hard work, honesty, love, affection, compassion, etc) to keep you within safe boundaries of your limits, so that you don't lose control of your life. The Devil pushes you upward from the bottom. God pulls you up from the top. Therefore, God is always above the Devil, but you need both in balance to lead a full contended life. So how about saints who are not impacted at all by Devil (that is, worldly desires). Do they never lead a contented life? Well, they do. They are already in the same plane or level as God. So there are no ups and downs in the fight between passion and principle for them. They are in balance, from the inside.
