"Suddenly, these words came to Toda: 'A lion seeks no companion.'
"The strange sense of loneliness that had troubled him had stemmed from his unconscious hunger for companionship. It was, perhaps, a manifestation of his weakness.
"But a lion seeks no companion. When it does, it forfeits its place as the king of beasts. Lions are never lonely. Companions come to them without being sought. Carrying out kosen-rufu is a lion's work. If one must be a lion, one should not seek out companions. If one were a true lion, companions would seek one out and follow one. What it all comes down to is whether one is a true lion—whether one is a true Bodhisattva of the Earth.
"'I must become a lion,' he thought. 'A lion, not some ordinary beast.'"
