CLEAR ALL
A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it.
The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.
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 simply challenges.
Forget the self and you will fear nothing, in whatever level or awareness you find yourself to be.
In a world where death is the hunter, my friend, there is no time for regrets or doubts. There is only time for decisions.
To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there.
