I hope to revisit this little book often. I found that the passages toward the end resonated with me the most. That the Path is the responsibility of the individual, the focus on mastering one's own self, and also finding the connection in all things.

"The way of a warrior is to establish harmony."
I listened to this recording, which is beautifully done.

I don't know what to say, I trained myself to be respectful towards what I do not agree with or understand, who am I to say this wisdom is a mixture of common sense, surreality (in not attacking during a fight?) and/or self-adoration.
Believe me, It is hard living with a skeptical mind and a sentimental heart.
I'm trying to read more on spirituality and open myself up to different ideas and views of life, I do believe in meditation (progress) and on how limited my knowledge of this world is, try to be humble, to not let the idea of (religion) restrict me from seeking more of it and it doesn't, it never did, what does is people's interpretations and close-mindedness
I know a certain country in which this book would be banned because of the referral to god in the plural form and the declaration that religions don't have all the answers, both saddening and hilarious, isn't it?
Back to the book, it gives you a lot to ponder on, some motivational quotes if you interpret them differently, or correctly, I don't know, but isn't this the point of good books? for each and every reader to get from them what they do, for us all to experience them according to our own current set of beliefs and stage in life?
In that sense, I will end my review with a quote from a man I believe in dearly;
“You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabet, the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you reflect”-Imam Ali
