The Wisdom of Miyamoto Musashi

[regnauld]

---

Be neither insufficiently spirited nor over spirited.
An elevated spirit is weak, and a low spirit is weak.
Extract from " A Book of five rings "

Spiritual bearing in strategy

In strategy your spritual bearing must not be any different from normal.
Both in fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm.
meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly,your spirit settled
yet unbiased.

Even when your spirit is calm do not let your body relax, and when your
body is relaxed do not let your spirit slacken.

Do not let your Spirit be influenced by your body,
or your body be influenced by your spirit.


Do not let the enemy see your spirit.
Small people must be completly familiar with the spirit of large people,
and large people must be familar with the spirit of small people.

Whatever your size,do not be misled by the reactions of your
of your own body.
With your spirit open and unconstricted,Look at things from the
high point of view.
You must cultivate your wisdom and spirit.Polish your wisdom:learn
public justice,distinguish between good and evil,study the ways of different arts one by one.
When you cannot be deceived by men you will have realised the wisdom of strategy.
The wisdom of strategy is different from other things.
On the battlefield, even when you area hard pressed, you should ceaselessly research
the principles of strategy so that you can develop a steady spirit.

BTW, Miyamoto Musashi was a Japanese undefeated Samurai Warrior and ZEN Master!

then you might want to rephrase your post there sir because i don't see any relevance with your anti-jesus ranting and the code of the samurai.

if being one with nature is crap to you, then i'd guess you're welcome with the notion of becoming one with chaos?

y diay?if u teach, preach, and be one with nature, jesus-wannabe na diay?..

Jesus was like a samurai sword used by Miyamoto Musashi.
