Re: Is aikido a spiritual practice ?
Nobody take this personally, please. :-)
Reading this thread reminded me of an old Sufi saying:
He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.
He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is asleep. Wake him.
He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is a child. Teach him.
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise. Follow him.
Although I would change the last to be:
He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise. Take him to lunch.
