The Tiger

A
in its prime moves slowly but heedfully through the jungle. In this case, the tiger is not searching
for prey. He is not stalking in the jungle, hoping to pounce on other animals. Rather, the image of the
tiger expresses a combination of self-satisfaction and modesty. The tiger walks slowly through the
jungle, with mindfulness. But because the tiger likes his body and his bounciness and sense of rhythm,
he is relaxed. From the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, there are no problems. His movements are
like waves; he swims through the jungle. So his watchfulness is accompanied by relaxation and
confidence. This is the analogy for the warriors confidence.
