With fight in front a brave person will never flee and he will not be considered brave who flees in the face of danger. In the field of battle the fight has begun in right earnest and passion, anger, pride and ambition are the foes to be fought. Restraint, piety and contentment are one's companions and the sword in the shape of Ramanama is flourishing freely. Kabir says: True warriors will fight bravely, cowards will be conspicuous by their absence.

 

शूर संग्रामको देख भागै नहीं, देख भागै सोई शूर नाहीं ।।

काम औ' क्रोध, मद, लोभसे जूझना, मंडा घमसान तहं खेत माहीं ।।

शील औ' शौच, संतोष साही भये, नाम समसेर तहं खूब बाजे ।।

कहै कबीर  कोई जूझि है शूरमा, कायरां भीड तहं तुरत भाजै ।।
