- Polishing the sword: The samurai polished their blades daily. A single speck of rust (a ripple of neglect) could lead to death. The act of polishing was a meditation on junketsu—the sword must be spiritually pure to cut through illusion.
- The unrippled mind (Heijōshin): The ultimate state of the warrior is a mind like a still mirror. When a small ripple of fear or doubt appears, the warrior "cleans" it immediately, offering their pure, undivided focus to the present moment.
