The Hardest Thing In The World Is

To Seek The Perfection Of The Warrior's Spirit Is The Only Task Worthy Of Our Temporariness, Our Manhood.

"only If One Loves This Earth With Unbending Passion Can One Relieve One's Sadness," Don Juan Said. "warriors Are Always Joyful Because Their Love Is Unalterable And Their Beloved, The Earth, Embraces Them And Bestows Upon Them Inconceivable Gifts. The Sadness Belongs Only To Those Who Hate The Very Thing That Gives Shelter To Their Beings." Don Juan Again Caressed The Ground With Tenderness. "this Lovely Being, Which Is Alive To Its Last Recesses And Understands Every Feeling, Soothed Me, It Cured Me Of My Pains, And Finally When I Had Fully Understood My Love For It, It Taught Me Freedom."

There Is Nothing More Lonely Than Eternity. And Nothing Is More Cozy For Us Than To Be A Human Being. This Indeed Is Another Contradiction-how Can We Keep The Bonds Of Our Humanness And Still Venture Gladly And Purposefully Into The Absolute Loneliness Of Eternity?

A 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 . . . Look At Every Path Closely And Deliberately. Try It As Many Times As You Think Necessary. Then Ask Yourself Alone, One Question . . . Does This Path Have A Heart? If It Does, The Path Is Good; If It Doesn't It Is Of No Use.

Feeling Important Makes One Heavy, Clumsy And Vain. To Be A Warrior One Needs To Be Light And Fluid.
