A warrior of the light who trusts too much in his intelligence ends up under-estimating the power of the adversary.武士轻谁信托太多，在他的情报结束低估的权力对手。
One must not forget: there are moments when strength is more effective than sagacity. 1千万不要忘记：有实力的时刻，当是更有效的，比的远见卓识。 And when we find ourselves faced with a certain kind of violence, no brilliance, argument, intelligence or charm can prevent tragedy.而当我们发现自己面临着某种暴力，没有华晨，争论，情报或魅力，可以防止悲剧。
That is why the warrior never under-estimates brute force.这就是为什么战士从来没有下估计蛮力。 When it is irrationally aggressive, he retreats from the battle field until the enemy has spent his energy.时，这是不理性的侵略性，他务虚会从战场直到敌人已用了他的能源。
However, let it be made quite clear: a warrior of the light is never cowardly.不过，让它作出十分明确：武士，鉴于是从来没有胆怯。 Flight can be an excellent art of defense but it cannot be used when there is great fear.飞行可以成为一个优秀的艺术，国防，但它不能用于时，有很大的恐惧。
In the face of any doubt, the warrior prefers to accept defeat and take care of his wounds, because he knows that if he flees he will be giving the attacker a greater power than he deserves.在面对任何疑问，勇士宁愿接受失败，并采取照顾他的伤口，因为他知道，如果他逃到他将留下后门，攻击者有更大的权力比他值得。
He can cure physical suffering but he will be eternally persecuted for his spiritual weakness.他可以治愈身体的痛苦，但他将永远迫害，他的精神弱点。 In some difficult and painful moments, the warrior faces a situation of disadvantage with heroism, resignation and courage.在一些困难和痛苦的时刻，战士面临的不利状况，与英雄主义，辞职和勇气。
To achieve the necessary state of mind (since he is entering the fight at a disadvantage and may suffer a lot), the warrior has to understand exactly what can cause him harm.实现必要的精神状态， （因为他是进入的斗争处于不利地位，并可能遭受了很多） ，勇士要明白究竟可以造成他的伤害。 Okakura Kakuso comments in his book on the Japanese tea ritual: okakura kakuso评论在他的书中对日本茶仪式：
“We look at the evil of others because we know evil through our own behavior. “我们期待在邪恶他人的，因为我们知道，邪恶通过我们自己的行为。 We never forgive those who injure us because we believe that we would never be forgiven.我们不会原谅那些谁伤害我们，因为我们相信，我们永远不会原谅。 We tell painful truth to our neighbor because we want to hide it from ourselves.我们告诉痛苦的真相，我们的邻居，因为我们要隐藏它自己。 We show our strength so that no-one can see our fragility.”我们显示我们的力量，使没有一个人可以看到我们的脆弱性“ 。
“That is why, whenever you are judging your brother, know that it you who are on trial.” “这就是为什么，每当你看你的兄弟，知道你是谁的审判” 。
Sometimes this knowledge can prevent a fight that will only bring disadvantages.有时这方面的知识可以防止斗争只会带来的弊端。 However, at other times there is no way out, only an unequal fight.不过，在其他时候是没有出路的，只有一个不平等的斗争。
We know we are gong to lose, but the enemy - violence - has left no other alternative but cowardice, which is of no interest to us.我们知道，我们是龚失去，但敌人-暴力-已经离开别无其他选择，但胆怯心理，这是没有兴趣给我们。 At this moment it is necessary to accept fate and try to bear in mind a text from the fabulous Bragavad Gita (Chapter II, 16-26):在这一刻，这是有必要受理的命运和尝试紧记，一个文本，从精彩bragavad歌（第二章， 16日至26日） ：
“Man is not born, nor does he ever die. “人是没有出生的，也不是他以往任何时候都死。 For ever he tries to exist, he will never stop doing this, because this is eternal and permanent.”永远的，他也试图存在，他将永远不会停止这样做，因为这是永恒的和永久的“ 。
“Just as a man casts off his old clothes and starts to wear new ones, the soul casts off the old body and takes on a new one.” “正如一名男子摆脱他的旧衣服，并开始穿新的定居点，灵魂，摆脱旧的机构，并采取了新的一” 。
“But the soul is indestructible; spades cannot cut it down, fire does not burn it, water does not wet it, and the wind never dries it. “但灵魂是坚不可摧的;纸牌不能减下来，消防不烧，水不湿，并且风从来没有干涸。 The soul is beyond the power of all such things.”灵魂是超越一切的权力，这样的事情“ 。
“As man is indestructible, he is always victorious (even in his defeats), and therefore should never have regrets.” “人是坚不可摧的，他总是胜利（甚至在他的失败） ，因此应该没有遗憾” 。
