Three Aspects of a Warrior's Discipline:

unwavering: "The warrior's discipline is unwavering and all pervasive. Therefore it is like the sun. the light of the sun shines where ever the sun rises. ... The sunshine is all-pervasive. ...the warrior's discipline is not selective. The warrior never neglects his discipline or forgets it. His awareness and sensitivity are constantly extended. He always conducts himself well, with gentleness and warmth. ...and compassion for others. His discipline and dedication are unwavering."

joy: "He takes joy in working with others. ... takes place throughout the warrior's life. ... because you have witnessed your basic goodness,...you have nothing to hang on to, ...you have experienced...sense of renunciation. The celebration is continuous, in spite of the ups and downs or your personal life. That is what is meant by being constantly joyful."

discriminating awareness "...the warrior's discipline... also contains discriminating awareness or skillful intelligence." (pg 71-73) (See: "Bow and Arrow", "Letting Go" and Warrior)
