#Warrior of the Light

[twicedailyquotes]

Solitude is used to teach us how to live with other people. Rage is used to show us the infinite value of peace. Boredom is used to underline the importance of adventure & spontaneity. Silence is used to teach us to use words responsibly. Tiredness is used so that we can understand the value of waking up. Illness is used to underline the blessing of good health. Fire is used to teach us about water. Earth is used so that we can understand the value of air. Death is used to show us the importance of life.

Paulo Coelho

“The Warrior of the Light is a believer. Because he believes in miracles, miracles begin to happen. Because he is sure that his thoughts can change his life, his life begins to change. Because he is certain that he will find love, love appears.”

― Paulo Coelho, Warrior of the Light

Warrior of the Light

'I've been through all this before,' he says to his heart.

'Yes, you have been through all this before,' replies his heart. 'But you have never been beyond it.'

Then the warrior realises that these repeated experiences have but one aim: to teach him what he does not want to learn.

LALA ROBIN’S TURN TO BABYSIT CLIVE

#ffxiv #ffxvi #robin vogel #clive rosfield #warrior of light #wol #THIS IS SOOOO DELIGHTFUL CLIVE IS SO POLITE AND SAD #ROBIN IS SO SMALL

[picaroroboto]

in the ShB role quests, we watch each of Ardbert's party members make some sort of personal sacrifice, forced to discard their own goals, for the sake of the greater good. The moment they make that choice is when a Crystal of Light appears, officially marking them as Warriors of Light in recognition of their heroism and sacrifice. "By your sacrifice, a warrior made.", as the Shadowkeeper says in battle.

The same lore doesn't hold true for the WoL, back when they were in crystal-collecting mode in ARR and HW, the crystals just appear after major victories without the need for some sort of momentous sacrifice, and seem to serve mostly as a marker of how much story progress you've made/need to make to the end of the expac.

But if you think about it not lore-wise, but symbolically -

With each victory over a Primal, you're ensuring that you'll be the person who'll be called upon for help when next a Primal appears. You're cementing your own role as hero each time.

And each time, you are making personal sacrifices.

You might not even realize it until much later, what you have offered up, bit by bit - your freedom, your peace of mind, your own goals and desires, for the sake of the greater good of the star.

"By your sacrifice, a warrior made."

Shiite calligraphy depicting Caliph Ali (r. 656-661 CE) as the Lion of God.

“Know thyself, and thou shalt know God.”

― Imam Ali

~

“Hazrat Ali says, "The secret of God can be studied in His nature."”

― Hazrat Inayat Khan, Vol. 1, The Way of Illumination, Some Aspects of Sufism, Nur-Zahur

~

“Someone went to Ali and asked him, "You tell us about the hereafter and the granting of desire there. What if it be not true? Then all our efforts on this earth would be wasted." "Nothing will be wasted," said Ali. "If it were not fulfilled, then you and I would have the same experience. But if it be true that there is a paradise, then you will be the loser and I shall gain, for I have prepared for it and you have scoffed at the idea."

~

“Loving one another is half of wisdom.”

― Nahj al-Balagha' ('The Peak of Eloquence')

~

“It is the spiritual soul who as a result of spiritual attainment begins to rise above all fear. As Ali has said, "Fear no longer remains in the heart of the spiritual ones." For fear is like the darkness, and the illumination is light. When illumination comes obscurity disappears. When a person has arrived at spiritual attainment, his doubts cease to exist. But without spiritual attainment, however intelligent a man may be, he still has doubts; and very often the more clever a person, the more doubts he has. And there are many among the most intelligent ones who cannot make a decision: they cannot make up their minds, for they doubt; and doubt is the decay which destroys every action. There is only one thing that raises a man above doubt, and that is not belief, but conviction; and conviction comes by spiritual attainment.”

― Hazrat Inayat Khan, Vol. 7, In an Eastern Rose Garden, The Journey to the Goal, Sublime Knowledge

~

“Sufis, who had received spiritual training from all previous prophets and leaders, likewise received training from Muhammad. The openness of Muhammads essential teachings paved the way for them to come forward into the world without the interference they had previously experienced, and a mystic order called the Saheba-e-Safa, Knights of Purity, was inaugurated by the Prophet, and afterwards was carried on by Ali and Siddiq. The lives of these knights were extraordinary in their wisdom, piety, bravery, spirituality, and great charity of heart. This order was carried on by their successors, who were called Pir-o-Murshid, Shaikh, etc., one after another, duly connected as links in a chain.”

― Vol. 5, A Sufi Message Of Spiritual Liberty, Sufis

~

“Hazrat Ali, the most distinguished among Sufis of the past, says, "To know the self is to know God", yet he spent much of his day and most of his nights in prayer.”

― Vol. 5, Pearls from the Ocean Unseen, The Prayerful Attitude, 5. Truth

~

“Then the question arises: what is the way to attain the truth? Can it be attained by study? The answer is that the source of realizing the truth is within man - but man is the object of his realization. There are words of Hazrat Ali, saying that the one who knows himself truly knows God.”

― Vol. 8, The Privilege of Being Human, 7. Truth

~

“In the time of Christ the inspiration was there, the voice was there and the divine power; but how few were those who listened and understood! It has always been so, and it always will be so. It is no wonder that Jesus had so few disciples, and even among them perhaps not one who had a true understanding of the Master. At the hour when Muhammad was passing away, when hundreds of his disciples were there, he pointed out one and said, "I am wisdom and Ali is the door."”

― Vol. 9, The Unity of Religious Ideals, The Message and the Messenger, The answer to the cry

~

“Accordingly to virtually the whole of the Islamic tradition, he (Imam Ali) is the “Gate” (bab) through which one enters the “City of Knowledge” that is the very being of the Prophet.”

~ Omid Safi

~

“More than this, there is an exchange of spiritual vibrations. Just by study or practice you cannot realize this truth, this feeling, this peace, this joy which is beyond words, which belongs to being your self, your natural self. In the East this is called Tawajjeh, which means presence, contact, association with. It is in this way that you learn what cannot be learned in any other way. Thus the disciples of Jesus Christ learned by his presence what no study or practice would ever have taught them. And in Muhammads time his disciples Ali and Abu Bakr gained very great benefit from his presence.”

― Vol. 12, The Vision of God and Man, Wealth, Discipleship

~

“Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it, and your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabet the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you reflect.”

― Imam Ali

~

““Man kuntu mawlahu, fa hadha Ali mawlahu”. Meaning: “For whomever I have been his Mawla (master/protecting friend), henceforth Ali is his Mawla.””

― Saying of Prophet Muhammad

One of my favorite parts of Endwalker is Emet-Selch seeing the Ghost WoL, immediately clocking it as Azem Something and going No, Not Today Satan while Hythlodaeus is sitting down beside the Ghost WoL and making pspspspsp noises at them and offering them free hugs and Emet's Aether and giving Emet the biggest wettest puppy dog eyes of Can We Keep Them?

Meanwhile WoL is having some emotional whiplash and an existential crisis.
