心をどこか一点に止めず，広い視野と柔らかい足腰を持つ。これは何も敵と対峙した戦いの場のみに限らない。日常生活や仕事の場でも，その場の状況を取り巻く様々な物事や人間関係への目配りを怠らないことが大切である。もちろん，余所事に気を取られず，今まさに目の前のやるべきことに集中することが第一である。ただ，そうありつつも，そこから全く離れられなくなってはいけない。それは「居着き」と呼ばれ，武術では戒められる。注力すべきところに集中しつつも常に鳥瞰的な感度は保ち，何かあればいつでもそこを離脱できる用意をしておく。事も人も，様々な何かとつながり，常に変化している。想像力と感受性でもって，できる限り場を広く捉え，つながりと変化を見極める。もちろん上手くいかないことも，失敗することもある。しかしそれでも広い視野と柔らかい足腰を保てば，事態はやがて好転するにちがいない。下手や失敗を悔い続けることもまた，「居着き」である。
We should not fix our mind to a point somewhere, but have a comprehensive perspective and soft footwork. This is not limited especially within a situation of confronting enemies. Even in the cases of both daily and professional situations, it is important to keep a watchful eye over various things and interpersonal relations around the present situations. Of course, the first thing is to concentrate on what you have to do in front of you at present, without being distracted by the other things. But, when doing so, you must not getting unable to leave from what you do at present. That is called "itsuki," which is cautioned in martial arts. Not only focus on what you should pour efforts on, but also always keep a bird's eye sensitivity and be ready to get detached from it whenever something happens. Both occurrences and humans are related to various things and ever changing. With imagination and sensitivity, grasp the situation as broadly as possible and find out both the relationships and changes. Of course, sometimes it doesn't go well, and sometimes it come to no good. But then, if you have a comprehensive perspective and soft footwork, the situation must get better soon. To continue regretting your poorness and failure in the past is also "itsuki."
