A WARRIOR'S CREED

I have no parents; I make the heavens and the earth my parents.

I have no home; I make awareness my home.

I have no life or death; I make the tides of breathing my life and death.

I have no divine power; I make honesty my divine power.

I have no means; I make understanding my means.

I have no magic secrets; I make character my magic secrets.

I have no body; I make my endurance my body.

I have no eyes; I make the flash of lightning my eyes.

I have no ears; I make sensibility my ears.

I have no limbs; I make promptness my limbs.

I have no strategy; I make "unshadowed by thought" my strategy.

I have no designs; I make 'seizing opportunity by the forelock' my design.

I have no miracles; I make 'right action' my miracles.

I have no principles; I make adaptability to all circumstances' my principles.

I have no tactics; I make emptiness and fullness my tactics.

I have no talent; I make ready wit my talent.

I have no friends; I make my mind my friend.

I have no enemy; I make carelessness my enemy.

I have no armor; I make benevolence and righteousness my armor.

I have no castle; I make immovable-mind my castle.

I have no sword; I make absence of self my sword.
