At that moment, his opponent approaches; he comes with a bag full of promises, treaties, and negotiations. He has tempting proposals and easy alternatives.
The Warrior analyses each of the proposals; he also seeks agreement, but without ever losing his dignity. If he avoids combat, it will not be because he was seduced, but because he judged it to be the best strategy.
A Warrior of the Light does not accept gifts from his enemy.
I repeat:
You can recognize a Warrior of the Light by the look in his eye. Warriors of the Light are in the world, they form part of the world, and they were sent into the world without saddlebags or sandals. They are often cowardly. They do not always act correctly.
Warriors of the Light are wounded by the most foolish things, they worry about trivialities, they believe themselves incapable of growing. Warriors of the Light sometimes believe themselves unworthy of any blessing or miracle.
Warriors of the Light often ask themselves what they are doing here. Often they find their lives meaningless.
That is why they are Warriors of the Light. Because they fail. Because they ask questions. Because they keep looking for a meaning. And, in the end, they will find it.
The Warrior of the Light is now waking from his dream.
He thinks: "I do not know how to deal with this light that is making me grow." The light, however, does not disappear.
The Warrior thinks: "Changes must be made that I do not feel like making."
The light remains, because "feel" is a word full of traps.
Then the eyes and heart of the Warrior begin to grow accustomed to the light. It no longer frightens him and he finally accepts his own Legend, even if this means running risks.
The Warrior has been asleep for a long time. It is only natural that he should wake up very gradually.
The experienced fighter puts up with insults; he knows the strength of his fist and the skill of his blows. Confronted by an unprepared opponent, he looks deep into his eyes and conquers him without ever having to resort to a physical fight.
As the Warrior learns from his spiritual master, the light of faith shines in his eyes and he does not need to prove anything to anyone. He is not bothered by his opponent's aggressive arguments which say that God is a superstition, that miracles are just tricks, that believing in angels is running away from reality.
Like the fighter, the Warrior of the Light is aware of his own immense strength; he
never fights with anyone who does not deserve the honor of combat.
The Warrior of the Light must always remember the five rules of combat, set down by Chuan Tzu three thousand years ago: Faith Before going into battle, you must believe in the reasons for the fight.
Companions Choose your allies and learn to fight in company, for no one ever won a war singlehandedly.
Time A battle in winter is different from a battle in summer; a good Warrior is careful to select the right moment to begin a fight.
Space One does not fight in the same way in a mountain pass as one would on a plain. Think about your surroundings and how best to move around in them.
Strategy The best Warrior is the one who plans his fight.
The Warrior rarely knows the result of a battle when the battle is over.
The activity of fighting will have generated an enormous amount of energy around him and there is always a moment when victory and defeat are equally possible. Time will tell who won and who lost, but he knows that, from that moment on, he can do nothing more: The fate of that battle lies in God's hands.
At such moments, the Warrior of the Light is not concerned with results. He examines his heart and asks: "Did I fight the Good Fight?" If the answer is "yes," he can rest. If the answer is "no," he takes up his sword and begins training all over again.
Each Warrior of the Light contains within him the spark of God.
His destiny is to be with other Warriors, but sometimes he will need to practice the art of the sword alone; this is why, when he is apart from his companions, he behaves like a star.
He lights up his allotted part of the Universe and tries to point out galaxies and worlds to all those who gaze up at the sky.
The Warrior's persistence will soon be rewarded. Gradually, other Warriors approach, and they join together to form constellations, each with their own symbols and mysteries.
