أُعَلِّمُـه الرمايَـة كُـلَّ يَـومٍ فَلَمّا اشتـدَّ ساعِـدهُ
رَمانـي
In the case of archery
the hitter and the hit
are no longer two opposing objects
but are one reality
وَمَا رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ رَمَىٰ
Qur'ân that sounds something like this. Sûra
8:17: , wamâ [and-not] ramayta
[you-shot] idh [when] ramayta [you-shot] walakinna [but] llâha [God] ramay
[shot], "You did not shoot, when you shot, but God shot
Zen in the Art of Archery
CHAPTER FIVE
Zen Archery and Swordsmanship
When the sword is in the hands of a
technician-swordsman skilled in its use, it is no more than an instrument with
no mind of its own. What it does is done mechanically, and there is no
[nonintellection] discernible in it. But when the sword is held by the
swordsman whose spiritual attainment is such that he holds it as though not
holding it, it is identified with the man himself, it acquires a soul, it moves
with all the subtleties which have been imbedded in him as a swordsman. The man
emptied of all thoughts, all emotions originating from fear, all sense of
insecurity, all desire to win, is not conscious of using the sword; both man
and sword turn into instruments in the hands, as it were, of the unconsciousW.
