Warrior of the Light- a manual pdfdrive com

 
A
ll Warriors of the Light have heard their mothers say: “My son wasn’t
thinking straight when he did that; deep down, he’s a very good person.”
Although he respects his mother, he knows that this is not true. He does not
waste his time blaming himself for his rash actions nor does he spend his life
forgiving himself for all the wrong he has done—doing that would never set him
back on the right path.
He uses common sense to judge not the intentions of an action but its
consequences. He takes responsibility for everything he does, even if he has to
pay a high price for his mistake.
As the old Arabic proverb says: “God judges a tree by its fruits and not by its
roots.”

B
efore making any important decision—declaring a war, moving with his
companions to another plain, choosing a field in which to sow seed—the
Warrior asks himself: “How will this affect the fifth generation of my
descendants?”
A Warrior knows that everything a person does has enduring consequences and
he needs to understand what kind of world he is leaving behind for that fifth
generation.

I
t’s just a tempest in a teacup,” someone says to the Warrior of the Light.
But he never exaggerates his difficulties and always tries to remain calm.
And he never judges someone else’s suffering.
A small detail—which does not affect him in the least—could serve to ignite the
storm brewing in his brother’s soul. The Warrior respects the suffering of others
and does not try to compare it with his own.
The cup of suffering is not the same size for everyone.

T
he most important quality on the spiritual path is courage,” said Gandhi.
The world seems threatening and dangerous to cowards. They seek the false
security of a life with no major challenges and arm themselves to the teeth in
order to defend what they think they possess. Cowards end up making the bars
of their own prison.
The Warrior of the Light projects his thoughts beyond the horizon. He knows
that if he does not do anything for the world, no one else will.
So he fights the Good Fight and he helps others, even though he does not quite
understand why.
