大いなるタオに気づけば，表層的な「私」から発せられるどんな欲望も，詮なきものに見えてくる。名声や富や支配を求めて外ばかりを向いていれば，欲は永遠に尽きない。欲を追いかけ続けても，永遠に本当の「自己」を知ることはない。むしろ内なる微細な心身の感覚へとマインドフルに意識を研ぎ澄ますことが，無限に広く深い自己を知る機会となる。その自己はタオとつながっている。武の道とは，そうやってタオを知り，タオに従う道である。
If you become aware of the great Tao, you will think of any desires generated by superficial "I" as worthless. If you look only outward in search of fame, wealth, and dominance, desires will never end. As long as you continue to seek after your desires, you would not know the real your "self" forever. Rather, focusing mindfully on the inside minute sensations of your mind and body will open an opportunity to feel the boundlessly broad and deep self. The self is linked with the Tao. The martial way is the one in which we know and follow the Tao in that manner.
