"When I draw my bow," say Herrigel to his Zen master, "there comes a point when I feel as if I will get breathless if I do not let fly at one."
"If you continue to try to provide the moments when you must release the arrow,
you will never learn the art of the archer," says his master.
"Sometimes, it is the archer's own overactive desire
that ruins the accuracy of the shot."
A Warior of the Lightsometimes thinks: "If I do not do something it will not be done."
It is not quite like that: He must act, but he must allow room for the Universe to act too.
