Vargo - Warriors (feat. Dan Millman)

The most precious thing to me will always be the present moment Dive down into the deep Backward through the haze There is a mighty seed That’s attracted you since everlasting moments Jump into the abyss To the bottom of your soul Dig up what there is A sleeping giant waiting to awake Calling the warriors Now is the time for us Release the warriors Conceive the genius In you The peaceful warrior’s way is founded not on my opinion or a set of beliefs But rather on reality as it unfolds It’s not about morals or moral concepts It’s about action and consequence It takes courage to live in this world And it takes courage to love in this world That’s why I describe all of us as peaceful warriors in training in the school of daily life Instantly you feel That you are not alone Arising from the unreal Is an army of lovers standing by your side Calling the warriors… I once saw a little man on a bullet train on a train station in Japan And his job was to clean the platform And I saw him polishing the railing And he took such pride in doing this work that most of us would consider not very creative work But he was like a zen master This was his service And it is no less important and no lower status than an author, musician, doctor, lawyer As long as we do what we do well And we remember that we’re doing it for these other parts of ourselves we call other people To me that is the important thing Calling the warriors… One of the most interesting definitions of enlightenment I’ve ever heard and I never forgot Enlightenment was described as: having one’s heart and mind rise to the heights of ecstasy And then sink to the depth of despair alternating at the speed of light between the two The world is unfolding perfectly — just as it is Calling the warriors…
