A warrior is not always spiritual.
I will give you an example how a spiritual person fights.

Imam Ali( r.a) was called the Lion of God because he was a fearless warrior.
Once he was engaged in battle and was about to slay an enemy but the enemy spat at Imam Ali's face.
Imam Ali stopped the fight and let the enemy go.

The enemy asked Imam Ali as why he let him go.

Imam Ali replied that all through the battle he was fighting for justice but when the enemy spat on his face, he felt anger..so he stopped and didnt want to slay the enemy as anger is a personal feeling and it will taint justice.

The enemy sought forgiveness from Imam Ali and didnt oppose him anymore.

Sravna..that is a true balanced spiritual warrior..no Rajas though engaged in battle.

How many warriors can fight like that these days?
