Conceit closes the eyes of the spirit and leads to regression rather than to progress. Be negligent, and... to the background. Though a... teacher propounds it, a mistake is still a mistake; and though a beginner performs it, a correct act is still correct...

Aikido with mind and body coordinated holds that we should first master something... then, to the limits of our knowledge, attempt to kindly lead... along the same path. We progress by teaching others because teaching is a form of learning... If he tells others not to be angry, he should not lose his temper. We must do as we instruct others and in correcting the bad habits of other people correct our own as well.
