Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.

A warrior never worries about his fear.

I too did not want to take the path of a warrior. I believed that all that work was for nothing, and since we are all going to die what difference would it make to be a warrior? I was wrong. But I had to find that out for myself. Whenever you do realize that you are wrong, and that it certainly makes a world of difference, you can say that you are convinced. And then you can proceed by yourself. Any by yourself you may even become a man of knowledge

... a warrior could not avoid pain and grief but only the indulging in them

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.

Leave Jesus on the cross. He's very happy there!

It doesn't matter what one reveals or what one keeps to oneself. Everything we do, everything we are, rests on our personal power. If we don't have enough personal power the most magnificent piece of wisdom can be revealed to us and it won't make a damn bit of difference.
