“Master, competitors scheme against me. Should I fight back or stick to my original heart?”

Another soul answered...

Always trust in yourself, its alright to be wrong, but don't overly doubt yourself

Another soul answered...

Let them scheme, let them talk, let them do what they must behind your back. There are two key wisdoms to impart upon you. 1) They must do it behind your back to be successful. They knew better than to let you know. You are powerful enough to take them on. 2) They scheme because they could never be as great. You are at a level above them, do not lose yourself to the mindless hold which revenge takes upon our souls. Continue with your journey, they will lose their way soon enough,

Another soul answered...

Don't be a coward and strike back with even more dastardly schemes so that they may never scheme against you again.
