Assimilating one's self to heaven

"He that is skilled in war maketh no fierce gestures; the most efficient fighter bewareth of anger. He who conquereth refraineth from engaging in battle; he whom men most willingly obey continueth silently with his Work. So it is said: - He is mighty who fighteth not; he ruleth who uniteth with his subjects; he shineth whose will is that of Heaven.-"
