“This is how one ought to see," I repeated yet again. And I might have added, "These are the sort of things one ought to look at."

“All that matters is having single-minded purpose ( ichinen), in the here and now. Life is an ongoing succession of ‘one will’ at a time, each and every moment. A man who realizes this truth need not hurry to do, or seek, anything else anymore. Just live in the present with single-minded purpose. People forget this important truth, and keep seeking other things to accomplish.”

“Del agua obtuvo claridad y paciencia: por primera vez, después de tantos años, sus pensamientos no estaban nublados. Del fuego consiguió pasión, una nueva apreciación de la vida y el deseo de sobreponerse a cualquier obstáculo. La tierra le concedió firmeza, una voluntad de acero y una determinación inquebrantable. Del viento adquirió el valor y la persistencia: cómo adentrarse y presionar ante la adversidad.”
