A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowldge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it will live to regret his steps.
…if such a man fails, or suffers a defeat, he will have lost only a battle, and there will be no pitiful regrets over that, (Teaching, 51)
The struggle against the individual self that has deprived him of his power.
Dethrone self-importance. (Silence, 150)
Warriors do their utmost then relax and let spirit decide the outcome. (Silence, 194)
One goes to knowledge or war with fear, with respect, aware that one is going to war, and with absolute confidence in oneself.
…to be victorious and to be defeated are equal.
Everything is filled to the brim and everything is equal. (Reality, 88)
