Fragmento de: Miyamoto Musashi. “The Book of Five Rings”. iBooks.

"Holding the Long Sword Grip the long sword with a rather floating feeling in your thumb and forefinger, with the middle finger neither tight nor slack, and with the last two fingers tight. It is bad to have play in your hands. When you take up a sword, you must feel intent on cutting the enemy. As you cut an enemy you must not change your grip, and your hands must not "cower". When you dash the enemy's sword aside, or ward it off, or force it down, you must slightly change the feeling in your thumb and forefinger. Above all, you must be intent on cutting the enemy in the way you grip the sword. The grip for combat and for sword-testing is the same. There is no such thing as a "man-cutting grip". Generally, I dislike fixedness in both long swords and hands. Fixedness means a dead hand. Pliability is a living hand. You must bear this in mind."

En la práctica de cada forma de vida y de cualquier trabajo, existe un estado de mente del que se dice que está desviado. Aunque os esforcéis diligentemente en vuestro propio camino día tras día, si vuestro corazón no está de acuerdo con él, aunque penséis que estáis en el buen camino, desde el punto de vista de la justicia y de la verdad, no es un auténtico camino. Si no seguís un auténtico camino hasta el final, una pequeña maldad al principio se convierte en una gran perversión. Reflexionad sobre esto.
