“There is a great convergence that is happening –
of spiritual people becoming active, and active people becoming spiritual.
It’s very positive, it’s very hopeful, it’s very miraculous.
For it is in this convergence that the hope of humanity now lies.”

The Humble Warrior

Velcrow said Aug 9, 2006, 12:48 AM:
 

THE HUMBLE WARRIOR IS SUPREME

Once you have made a leap of daring, you might become arrogant. You might say to yourself: “Look, I have jumped! I am so great, so fantastic!” But arrogant warriorship does not work. It does nothing to benefit others. You need to cultivate gentleness, so that you remain humble, soft, and open. Allow tenderness to come into your heart. Renounce putting on a new suit of armor or growing a thick skin. The warrior who has accomplished true renunciation is completely naked and raw, without even skin or tissue. You are able to be, quite fearlessly, what you are.
