WARRIOR
A warrior is a person who, through struggle and great effort, has come to know
that the application of vigor and the fight for nobel causes are enjoyable and a part of our nature as mature human beings.
To be a true adult, one must fight all kinds of distractions, personal weaknesses, fear and lethargy. Therefore, inner peace
is a result of sometimes intense struggle.
The main characteristic of this struggle is spiritual and represents
human vigor. Living life with intensity and purpose is leading the life of a "warrior". To be a "warrior" however,
do not necessarily implicate waging a "war". The title "warrior" is also an honorary title in many tribal societies. It discribe
the character of a man or woman as being endowed with courage and compassion.
SPIRITUAL
The inner most core of ourselves are intrinsically one and the same with that of
the universe. The effort to reach to one's inner nucleus and find a balance in this world is essentially spiritual. Therefore,
to be spiritual means manifesting and radiating harmony of spirit, mind and body and constantly improving on that harmony.
Spiritual Warrior
A spiritual warrior is someone who pursues spirituality with a certain amount of vigor and determination.
We are neither spiritual nor a warrior without taking the attitude that we are "in training" at any level all the time. The
humbleness of "in training" is an essential trait of a true aspirant as well as the master / teacher. WE have witnessed in
history, the utmost height of foolishness in the name of religion such as the destroying of life and property. These have
nothing to do with spirituality nor warriorship.
