Two Sides, Same Coin
Deshi: Do you teach self-defense or spirituality? Sensei: Yes. Deshi: Let me rephrase that. Do you emphasis self-defense or spirituality? Sensei: No. Deshi: Is it that you do not understand my question? Sensei: Yes and no. Deshi: How should I rephrase this kind of question? Sensei: Why should you want to? Deshi: Then you are saying they are the same thing? Sensei: If you want to hold that view. Deshi: Then you are saying that they are different from each other? Sensei: You can hold that too. Deshi: Shall I leave? Sensei: Leave or stay, but know this either way: Victory is victory over one's lesser self. One who has achieved that victory cannot be attacked by another who has not. Deshi: Everything to win, nothing to lose? Sensei: Victory is yours if you make it so. Defeat is yours if you make it so. |
