"Can you be both martial and spiritual?
Can you overcome your ultimate opponent?"
The most profound victory is that over the self: Call it self-mastery, call it beating your own personal best...I call it making myself available to serve others. The question, especially in these troubled times, is how best to serve them. It's easy to talk about love, easy to say the right words and align oneself with truly holy, righteous and pure ideals. But to fight for them...How far must I go? How far am I willing to? This is what I continue to demand of myself with each passing day, as I pray for corresponding strength.
