THE HUMBLE WARRIOR IS SUPREME

Once you have made a leap of daring, you might become arrogant. You might 
say to yourself: "Look, I have jumped! I am so great, so fantastic!" But 
arrogant warriorship does not work. It does nothing to benefit others. You 
need to cultivate gentleness, so that you remain humble, soft, and open. 
Allow tenderness to come into your heart. Renounce putting on a new suit of 
armor or growing a thick skin. The warrior who has accomplished true 
renunciation is completely naked and raw, without even skin or tissue. You 
are able to be, quite fearlessly, what you are.
