The line is from Joel S. Goldsmith. The idea appears in his teachings on surrender:
“I lay my sword down… I will no longer fight.
I will let the Infinite within me fight my battles.”
Sometimes paraphrased as:
“I lay down my sword and shield;
I do not battle — I stand still and see the salvation.”
This mirrors:
Bhagavad Gita — act, but surrender outcomes
Wallace Stevens — truth emerges indirectly
Goldsmith — stop mental fighting; allow realization
All three pivot on the same movement:
Arjuna: stop resisting duty
Stevens: stop forcing truth
Goldsmith: stop fighting reality
Common core:
Effort in action — no violence in mind.
