I am already given to the power that rules my fate. And I cling to nothing, so I will have

nothing to defend.

I have no thoughts, so I will see.

I fear nothing, so I will remember myself.

Detached and at ease, I will dart past the Eagle to be free.

Warriors have an ulterior purpose for their acts which has

nothing to do with personal gain. The average man acts only if

there is a chance for profit. Warriors act not for profit, but for

the spirit.

For the average man, the world is weird because if he's not

bored with it, he's at odds with it. For a warrior, the world is

weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable.

A warrior must assume responsibility for being here, in this

marvelous world, in this marvelous time.

Impeccability begins with a single act that has to be

deliberate, precise and sustained. If that act is repeated long

enough, one acquires a sense of unbending intent which can be

applied to anything else. If that is accomplished the road is

clear. One thing will lead to another until the warrior realizes

his full potential.

Any movement of the assemblage point means a movement away

from an excessive concern with the individual self. Shamans believe

it is the position of the assemblage point which makes modern man a

homicidal egoist, a being totally involved with his self-image.

Having lost hope of ever returning to the source of everything, the

average man seeks solace in his selfishness.

A warrior must cultivate the feeling that he has everything

needed for the extravagant journey that is his life. What counts

for a warrior is being alive. Life in itself is sufficient,

self-explanatory and complete.

Therefore, one may say without being presumptuous that the

experience of experiences is being alive.

A warrior must focus his attention on the link between

himself and his death. Without remorse or sadness or worrying, he

must focus his attention on the fact that he does not have time and

let his acts flow accordingly. He must let each of his acts be his

last battle on earth. Only under those conditions will his acts

have their rightful power. Otherwise they will be, for as long as

he lives, the acts of a fool.

NoteAlthough the quotes use the default masculine pronoun "he," it is not assumed that warriors must be males. Many of the most powerful warriors in the Casteneda books are female.

Warriors compress time; this is the sixth principle of the

art of stalking. Even an instant counts. In a battle for your

life, a second is an eternity, an eternity that may decide the

outcome. Warriors aim at succeeding, therefore they compress time.

Warriors don't waste an instant.

A warrior acknowledges his pain but he doesn't indulge in it.

The mood of the warrior who enters into the unknown is not one of

sadness; on the contrary, he's joyful because he feels humbled by

his great fortune, confident that his spirit is impeccable, and

above all, fully aware of his efficiency. A warrior's joyfulness

comes from having accepted his fate, and from having truthfully

assessed what lies ahead of him.

The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is

that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary

man takes everything as a blessing or as a curse.

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence

of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of

the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks

impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The

average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked

only to infinity.

It is much easier for warriors to fare well under conditions of

maximum stress than to be impeccable under normal circumstances.

What seems natural is to think that a warrior who can hold his

own in the face of the unknown can certainly face petty tyrants with

impunity. But that's not necessarily so. What destroyed the superb

warriors of ancient times was to rely on that assumption. Nothing

can temper the spirit of a warrior as much as the challenge of

dealing with impossible people in positions of power. Only under

those conditions can warriors acquire the sobriety and serenity to

withstand the pressure of the unknowable.

Knowledge comes to a warrior, floating, like specks of gold

dust, the same dust that covers the wings of moths. So for a

warrior, knowledge is like taking a shower, or being rained on b

specks of dark gold dust.

A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's

control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go.

That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind.

No one can push him, no one can make him do things against himself

or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive and

he survives in the best of all possible fashions.

Acts have power. Especially when the warrior acting knows that

those acts are his last battle. There is a strange consuming

happiness in acting with the full knowledge that whatever he is

doing may very well be his last act on earth.

If a warrior is to succeed in anything, the success must come

gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession.

Our fellow men are black magicians. And whoever is with them

is a black magician on the spot. Think for a moment, can you

deviate from the path that your fellow men have lined up for you?

And if you remain with them, your thoughts and your actions are

fixed forever in their terms. That is slavery. The warrior, on the

other hand, is free from all that. Freedom is expensive, but the

price is not impossible to pay. So, fear your captors, your

masters. Don't waste your time and your power fearing freedom.

A warrior is never under siege. To be under siege implies that

one has personal possessions that could be blockaded. A warrior has

nothing in the world except his impeccability, and impeccability

cannot be threatened.

To discard everything that is unnecessary is the second

principle of the art of stalking. A warrior doesn't complicate

things. He aims at being simple. He applies all the concentration

he has to decide whether or not to enter into battle, for any battle

is a battle for his life. This is the third principle of the art of

stalking. A warrior must be willing and ready to make his last

stand here and now. But not in a helter-skelter way.

The flaw with words is that they always make us feel

enlightened, but when we turn around to face the world they always

fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without

enlightenment. For this reason, a warrior seeks to act rather than

to talk, and to this effect, he gets a new description of the

worlda new description where talking is not that important, and

where new acts have new reflections.

Applying these principles brings about three results. The

first is that stalkers learn never to take themselves seriously;

they learn to laugh at themselves. If they are not afraid of being

a fool, they can fool anyone. The second is that stalkers learn to

have endless patience. Stalkers are never in a hurry; they never

fret. And the third is that stalkers learn to have an endless

capacity to improvise.

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A

warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless

challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad.

Challenges are simple challenges.

The recommendation for warriors is not to have any material

things on which to focus their power, but to focus it on the spirit,

on the true flight into the unknown, not on trivialities.

Everyone who wants to follow the warrior's path has to rid

himself of the compulsion to possess and hold onto things.

Self-importance is man's greatest enemy. What weakens him is

feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow men.

Self-importance requires that one spend most of one's life offended

by something or someone.

The hardest thing in the world is to assume the mood of a

warrior. It is of no use to be sad and complain and feel justified

in doing so, believing that someone is always doing something to us.

Nobody is doing anything to anybody, much less to a warrior.

A warrior takes his lot, whatever it amy be, and accepts it in

ultimate humbleness. He accepts in humbleness what he is, not as

grounds for regret but as a living challenge.

By the way, Casteneda, just before he died, published an entire book of Don Juan quotations entitled The Arrow of Time.

When nothing is for sure we remain alert, perennially on our

toes. It is more exciting not to know which bush the rabbit is

hiding behind than to behave as though we knew everything.

As long as a man feels that he is the most important thing in

the world, he cannot really appreciate the world around him. He is

like a horse with blinders; all he sees is himself, apart from

everything else.

There is no completeness without sadness and longing, for

without them there is no sobriety, no kindness. Wisdom without

kindness and knowledge without sobriety are useless.

Everything that warriors do is done as a consequence of a

movement of their assemblage points, and such movements are ruled by

the amount of energy warriors have at their command.

Power always makes a cubic centimeter of chance available to a

warrior. The warrior's art is to be perennially fluid in order to

pluck it.

The worst that could happen to us is that we have to die, and

since that is already our unalterable fate, we are free; those who

have lost everything no longer have anything to fear.

What we need to do to allow magic to get hold of us is to

banish doubts from our minds. Once doubts are banished anything is

possible.

A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going

to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short

for witnessing all the marvels of it.

Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.

Dwelling upon the self too much produces a terrible fatigue. A man in that position is deaf and blind to everything else. The fatigue itself makes him cease to see the marvels all around him.

When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.

For a seer, the truth is that all living beings are struggling to die. What stops death is awareness.

The only freedom warriors have is to behave impeccably. Not only is impeccability freedom; it is the only way to straighten out

the human form.

Here is a collection of quotes and passages on warriorship that I like. I hope you will gain some valuable wisdom from these.

My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed.

- Yi Sunshin, Last letter to an old friend.

1. Do not think dishonestly.

2. The Way is in training.

3. Become acquainted with every art.

4. Know the Ways of all professions.

5. Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.

6. Develop intuitive judgment and understanding for everything

7. Percieve those things which cannot be seen.

8. Pay attention even to trifles.

9. Do nothing which is of no use.

- Musashi Miyamoto, A Book Of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho)

Focus on your one purpose

- Japanese motto

The Way of a Warrior is based on humanity, love, and sincerity; the heart of martial valor is true bravery, wisdom, love, and friendship. Emphasis on the physical aspects of warriorship is futile, for the power of the body is always limited.

- Ueshiba Morihei, The Art Of Peace

The path of the Warrior is lifelong, and mastery is often simply staying on the path.

- Richard Strozzi Heckler, In Search of the Warrior Spirit

The man who would be a warrior considers it his most basic intention to keep death always in mind, day and night, from the time he first picks up his chopsticks in celebrating his morning meal on New Year's Day to the evening of the last day of the year. When one constantly keeps death in mind, both loyalty and filial piety are realized, myriad evils and disasters are avoided, one is without illness and mishap, and lives out a long life. In addition, even his character is improved. Such are the many benifits of this act.

-Daidoji Yuzan, Budoshoshinshu: The Warrior's Primer (William Scott Wilson translation)

Whenever you meet difficult situations dash forward bravely and joyfully.

- Tsunetomo Yamamoto, Hagakure

Take arrows in your forehead, but never in your back.

- Samurai maxim

You can prevent your opponent from defeating you through defense, but you cannot defeat him without taking the offensive.

- Sun Tzu

The fighter is to be always single-minded with one object in view: to fight, looking neither backward nor sidewise. To go straight forward in order to crush the enemy is all that is necessary for him.

- Daisetz Suzuki

If you walk, just walk. If you sit, just sit. But whatever you do, don't wobble.

- Master Ummon

Go to the battlefield firmly confident of victory and you will come home with no wounds whatsoever.

- Samurai general Kenshin Uesugi (1530-78)

The warrior's intention should be simply to grasp his sword and to die.

- Kiyomasa Kato (1562-1611)

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

- Friedrich Nietzsche

First see to it that you, yourself, are all right, then think of defeating an opponent.

- The Way of the Spear

If you know the art of breathing you have the strength, wisdom and courage of ten tigers.

- Chinese adage

The focused mind can pierce through stone.

- Japanese maxim

When attacking, don't be careless.

- The Way of the Spear

Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice.

- Samurai maxim

The end of our Way of the sword is to be fearless when confronting our inner enemies and our outer enemies.

- Tesshu Yamaoka, 19th century Kendo master

To fight and conquer in one hundred battles is not the highest skill. To subdue the enemy with no fight at all, that's the highest skill.

- Sun Tsu

It's a difficult thing to truly know your own limits and points of weakness.

- Hagakure

If the enemy stays spirited it is difficult to crush him.

- Musashi Miyamoto

A warrior must only take care that his spirit is never broken.

- Shissai

Don't always think in a straight line.

- The Way of the Spear

Katte, kabuto no o o shime yo!

After victory, tighten you helmet cords!

What religion means to me!

*According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary religion is defined as

• The service and worship of God or the supernatural,

• Commitment or devotion to a religious faith

• A personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, rules, beliefs, and practices.

Quote from- http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book...amp;va=religion

To me religion is a lot more then the above definition, personally I think that religion can be the most powerful, liberating and special thing in the universe however it can also be a great tool for power, manipulation, enslavement, greed, control and money.

In a recent conversation with a friend we discussed the notion that over 80% of wars that take place in the world can be traced down to religion and most of the worlds most dangerous terrorist groups use religion as their motivation. It’s these groups that claim to be true believers and devout fundamentalists of the one true religion. (The one true religion whose followers will go to a sacred heavenly place after death, while all non-believers will go to hell) It is these true believers that lie, deceive and kill the innocent by hijacking planes and blowing up buildings.

To me this is NOT religion. I think that this behaviour is rooted deep in the misunderstanding of religion and religious rules and dogmas. It’s when religion is taken literally and at face value without deeper analysis and critical thinking that it can become dangerous. Many religious texts were written hundreds of years ago, so are these texts really reliable and relevant in today’s day and age? Because the meanings of words and language have changed throughout time. So do those texts mean the same as they did then as they do now and should they be taken at literal face value? It is simple questions like these many so called religious people should ask them selves as introspection and the questioning of ones own beliefs and faith can help you evolve as an individual. So do you think we really blame religious fanatics for their actions? They simply lack the capability to look inwards and see that God is not something or someone up in the sky, but God is actually here with us, in us and around us. My faiths elders taught me that if you cannot see God in all things and people, you cannot see God at all.

I think that religion should not dictate how you act and behave instead it should be used as guide to help become a better person. Lack of critical thinking and questioning of religion can lead to ritual practises. I know this because I can speak from experience of what I have seen. I personally choose to wake up in the morning and tie a turban and read holy Sikh scriptures, but I do this not out of ritual or false practice, but out of love and devotion. I believe that the reading and analysing of these Holy Scriptures helps me to become a better person and live my life with more zest and purpose. By doing this I may be seen by others to be very religious but I don’t see myself as a religious person, I simply see myself as a human being making my way in life same as everybody else.

To me religion is not just following dogmas of a certain faith, to me religion is more then going to the church or mosque, it is more then wearing a turban or a hijab to me true religion is love and compassion. Rather then religion I believe in love, a universal loving path that consists of many paths where we may come together with love and respect and learn from one another.

Personally I see religion as giant walls keeping us apart. It is through religion that some people see themselves as purer then others to feed ones own ego. It is these types of behaviour that lead to religious friction and hatred and once you are in this mode of thought it is extremely hard to get out. This type of behaviour leads to following religion blindly.

I conclude by saying live your life with love, and allow that to be the religion that unites us all.

what irritates us most about others is what we dislike most about our selves

PEOPLE OF GREAT CHARACTER CONDUCT THEM SELVES WITH DIGNITY

WICKED

jagat jalander rakhle apni kipr taaar

THE WORLD IS ON FIRE

only maharaaj can save it

B4 u read further 4give me for my ignorance

But from the microscopic amount about life and sikhi that I know and wot I myself comprehend I believe in love, this is that which can get you mukti

Personally I don’t agonize about getting mukti

If it happens it happens with the grace of akaaal purukh

People can tell u 2 read this and read that and you will get mukti

People can tell to sit in a certain position, do an immeasurable quantity of simran

They can tell you to do masses akand paths

But if you do anything without love how can u get mukti

When we read bani we should do it out of our love and devotion, believe me its tremendously difficult I don’t think I have ever done it but, every time I read bani and do simran it’s the ideal that I aim 4 with kirpa one day I will do simran with 100% diaan

In my outlook I think that we are becoming (well I know that I am) becoming emotionally involved to rewards, wen we do sewa we may think that ‘this sewa is gonna amount to this much gun (reward) and is gonna make me more of a chardi kala sikh,

But im thinking F-it if im gonna do sewa, im gonna do it out of love, if im gonna clean the shoes of the sangat im not gonna be thinking that if I do this sewa god and guru ji will get me out of trouble with the law or help me get good exam results, im gonna be doing that sewa because of love for the sangat and my love for the guru with 100% devotion

Wen we read bani , mediate and do sewa and sacrifice with pure love then I think that we will truly be talking to god and then things like mukti will be realised truly

We should 4 get the attachment to rewards the attachment to mukhti, the attachment to a heven and hell

DHANAASAREE, FIRST MEHL, CHHANT:

ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD. BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU:

Why should I bathe at sacred shrines of pilgrimage? The Naam, the Name of the Lord, is the sacred shrine of pilgrimage. My sacred shrine of pilgrimage is spiritual wisdom within, and contemplation on the Word of the Shabad. The spiritual wisdom given by the Guru is the True sacred shrine of pilgrimage, where the ten festivals are always observed. I constantly beg for the Name of the Lord; grant it to me, O God, Sustainer of the world. The world is sick, and the Naam is the medicine to cure it; without the True Lord, filth sticks to it. The Guru’s Word is immaculate and pure; it radiates a steady Light. Constantly bathe in such a true shrine of pilgrimage. || 1 || Filth does not stick to the true ones; what filth do they have to wash off? If one strings a garland of virtues for oneself, what is there to cry for? One who conquers his own self through contemplation is saved, and saves others as well; he does not come to be born again. The supreme meditator is Himself the philosopher’s stone, which transforms lead into gold. The true man is pleasing to the True Lord. He is in ecstasy, truly happy, night and day; his sorrows and sins are taken away. He finds the True Name, and beholds the Guru; with the True Name in his mind, no filth sticks to him. || 2 || O friend, association with the Holy is the perfect cleansing bath. The singer who sings the Lord’s Praises is adorned with the Word of the Shabad. Worship the True Lord, and believe in the True Guru; this brings the merit of making donations to charity, kindness and compassion. The soul-bride who loves to be with her Husband Lord bathes at the Triveni, the sacred place where the Ganges, Jamuna and Saraswaati Rivers converge, the Truest of the True. Worship and adore the One Creator, the True Lord, who constantly gives, whose gifts continually increase. Salvation is attained by associating with the Society of the Saints, O friend; granting His Grace, God unites us in His Union. || 3 || Everyone speaks and talks; how great should I say He is? I am foolish, lowly and ignorant; it is only through the Guru’s Teachings that I understand. True are the Teachings of the Guru. His Words are Ambrosial Nectar; my mind is pleased and appeased by them. Loaded down with corruption and sin, people depart, and then come back again; the True Shabad is found through my Guru. There is no end to the treasure of devotion; the Lord is pervading everywhere. Nanak utters this true prayer; one who purifies his mind is True. || 4 || 1 ||

Never argue with an idiot, cause he'll bring you down to his level and beat you with experience"

Man's greatest fear is to have died without living.

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.
