The warrior rarely knows the result of a battle when the battle is over.
The activity of fighting will have generated an enormous amount of energy around him and there is always a moment when victory and defeat are equally possible. Time will tell who won and who lost, but he knows that, from that moment on, he can do nothing more: the fate of that battle lies in God’s hands.
At such moments, the warrior of light is not concerned with results. He examines his heart and asks: ‘Did I fight the Good Fight?’ If the answer is ‘yes’, he can rest. If the answer is ‘no’, he takes up his sword and begins training all over again.
