Inspirations

First ensured

His own

Invulnerability;

Then he waited for

The enemy’s

Vulnerability.

Invulnerability rests

With self;

Vulnerability,

With the enemy.

The Skilful Warrior

Can achieve

His own

Invulnerability;

But he can never bring about

The enemy’s

Vulnerability.

Hence the saying

‘One can know

Victory

And yet not achieve it.’

Invulnerability is

Defence;

Vulnerability is

Attack.

Defence implies

Lack;

Attack implies

Abundance.
