"Suppose you do see the opponents sword come but do not allow your mind to stay with it. Suppose instead, that in response to the coming sword, you do not think of striking back or form any idea or judgment but the moment you see the sword raised you move in, your mind not tarrying, and grasp the sword. Then you should be able to wrest from the opponent the sword intended to slash you, and turn it into one with which to slash him. In Buddhism the mind that tarries is called Maya (illusion, ignorance)."
