I have no attachment to life or death. I leave everything as it is to God. Be apart from attachment to life and death and have a mind which leaves everything to Him, not only when you are being attacked but also in your daily lives. True budo is a work of love. It is a work of giving life to all beings, and not killing or struggling with each other.
Love is the guardian deity of everything.
Aikido is the realization of love. I do not make a companion of men. This world is not going well because people make companions of each other, saying and doing foolish things. Good and evil beings are all one united family in the world. Aikido leaves out any attachment.
