For example, you have a cold now its physical symptoms tell you when your body needs to rebalance itself, to restore its proper relationship with sunlight, fresh air, simple food. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality.įirst you need to understand where your thoughts come from, how they arise in the first place. It wants to be free of change, free from pain, free from obligations of life and death. I’ve always believed that we have to find our own paths in life. To see where something leads, it’s best to wait until you reach the end. You had better reconsider your “importances” if you are to have even a chance of becoming a warrior. Life demands right action if knowledge is to come alive. Life requires more than knowledge it requires intense feeling and constant energy. No amount of knowledge will nourish or sustain your spirit it can never bring you ultimate happiness or peace. Knowledge alone does not suffice it has no heart. Use whatever knowledge you have but see its limitations. Realization is three-dimensional – a simultaneous comprehension of head, heart, and instinct. Understanding is the one-dimensional comprehension of the intellect. The world’s a puzzle, no need to make sense out it. Excerpts from Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman
