Judging by the comments, I feel many people have missed the deeper, fundamental point underlying Seijiro's personal philosophy. He wasn't talking about balance. And he was most certainly not talking about being a passive observer who's just "accepting and surrendering" — if he were, he wouldn't be going around randomly executing evil-doers.
As Seijiro flatly pointed out, to be a swordsman is to be a murderer, and Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu would make its wielder the most powerful murderer in Japan. Seijiro was arguing that this awful responsibility must be wholly acknowledged and completely borne by the wielder of Mitsurugi-ryu swordsmanship, alone .
Seijiro was pointing out — in no uncertain terms — that a Mitsurugi-ryu swordsman who lends his power to either faction would, in effect, be absconding from his personal culpability as a murderer.
He wasn't trying to humanise the bandits and evil-doers he'd executed so far. Rather, he was acknowledging that they had responded to the troubled times the only way they knew how: by brutalising other people. So, he too would respond to the times, by paying back the evil deeds in kind. But, at the same time, he accepted full responsibility for all the lives he took.
Because he understood the full weight of his actions, Seijiro absolutely refused to make excuses for his deeds. He absolutely refuses to justify any of the murders he's committed by appeals to justice or ideology. To him, such behaviour would not just be an act of vanity, but also morally abhorent. At any point in time, he and he alone has the chance to decide whether or not to swing his sword. It makes no difference what cause he claims to fight for because, in the end, if he were to decide not to strike, someone would be spared. Someone will not die.
The swordmaster was thus warning Kenshin — who was too young and inexperienced at the time to appreciate the enormity of his decision — that allowing others to make use of his skills would inevitably tempt him to make excuses for his personal actions.
This is an extremely crucial point to understand, because it's one of the underlying causes for Kenshin's lifelong guilt — he had been warned, but he refused to listen, and that made him doubly culpable for all the harm he had wrought. Throughout his time as Battousai, Kenshin tried to convince himself that he was working for the greater good. But, thanks to Tomoe's intervention, he owned up at last to his personal responsibility as a killer — and realised at the same time that he'd never be able to provide an adequate explanation to the families of those he killed. All he could do was to atone, and vow never to kill again.
This scene is also crucial for understanding why Seijiro deigned to teach Kenshin in the first place: As a boy, Shinta had unwittingly demonstrated a precocious awareness of the weight of the lives he carried, by not just selflessly burying the three women who lost their lives trying to protect him, but also the bandits and the slave-traders. In Shinta's guileless response to his questions, Seijiro immediately recognised a kindred spirit, and believed he could be a potential successor.
Essentially, Seijiro is fiercely arguing that one must carry one's own weight. It is morallly wrong, he believes, to push this weight to others.

When I was 16 yrs old and decided to join party politics to "fight for the oppressed people", I was quite bit like Kenshin. Now that I'm 40, I wish I had a wise mentor like Seijuro Hiko back then, someone who could explain me why I was being foolish and wouldn't achieve my goals following the path I had decided to follow.
So I had to learn the hard way that wherever politics are involved, at the end of the day the only thing that matters is the power in itself. No matter how good and beautiful words or ideals they use to masquerade their real intentions, when stuff goes down the leadership, the conquest and maintenance of power is the real thing, just as Machiavelli pointed out 500 yrs ago.
If I had a clue on this simple reality, I wouldn't have spent so many years of my life with engagement and study just to help elect people as bad as those we used to fight against. Or even invest my time in those activities, but having a realistic, honest approach from the very beginning.
And time, as Seneca used to say, is the most valuable thing in this physical life.
Now I can understand the weight that massacres Kenshin's conscience, because he not only spent his time to be used by bad people; he also took many lives in the process.
In fact, to make a positive difference in this world isn't that difficult, it's not rocket science and doesn't require monstruous efforts as youngsters believe very often. Just be a decent human being, caring for those who are next to you and doing your best. For a legendary sword master like Hiko, the best way to make difference was slay bad people he faced; for us it may start by making our own bed, saving our mother's effort and health.
Like me, Kenshin spent many years in efforts and sufferings, living a depressing and lonely life just to learn this simple truth, taught by many masters throughout human existence. But it's never too late to learn good stuff and change your direction for the better.

In the midst of comments and interpretations of Hiko's teachings, a succinct way of clearing things up would be to stick with Hiko's words and logic when he warns Kenshin of what will happen if he leaves his training, which might go like this:
1. A sword is a murder weapon.
2. Swordsmanship is the art/technique of killing/murdering.
3. To protect people, a swordsman has to kill others.
4. To save all people, a swordsman has to murder (at least) some people.
5. The above two axioms state the true/final principle of (all) swordsmanship.
6. I have murdered hundreds of people, but they were all human beings.
7. These people were [living their lives the only way they knew how].
8. If you leave [your training], you will live your life as a murderer [under the direction of men who write their own justice].
9. If you [throw in your lot with them], your swordsmanship will make you a mass murderer.
In this series, both Kenshin and his master have clearly stated Hiten Mitsurugi's core principle to protect the innocent via swordsmanship. However, one key difference between the two swordsmen during this movie arc is that, in short, Hiko stayed closer to that core principle to protect the innocent by choosing to remain neutral as a hermit, whereas Kenshin initially strayed from that core principle, even though he wanted to save many people, by choosing to make himself vulnerable to wholeheartedly choosing a side of the national conflict, i.e. the Ishin Shishi, and systematically killing enemies in their opposition, i.e. the Shogunate forces, as their chief assassin, the Hitokiri Battōsai.
In short, both Kenshin and his master are mass murderers by Hiko's definition, but a key difference between them point to the different moral, social, and political implications that emerge as they live out their own interpretations of the Hiten Mitsurugi. Kenshin would later come to better understand his master's teaching and adopt a neutral position himself as a rurouni. However, Kenshin's lesson came at a heavy price, via his tragic past as a mass murderer, along with its consequences, that would haunt him for a long time, in the form of his past occupation/title/persona/life, the former Himura (Hitokiri) Battōsai of the Ishin Shishi.
@superlosia1234
This scene is great because even after the war, Kenshin was never remembered as a "hero/protector of the weak". He was remembered as a killer, and a person to be feared " Battousai the manslayer"
@MasterChief-md1qm
Superlosia Yea. I also like the foreshadow and the irony to everything Kenshin said. Also is it just me or is the Dub Version 100x better, on delivery.
@TheDarknessWithin11
Master Chief nah I felt like the dub was pretty emotionless and I love the dub for the actual series
@Sawngawkuh
It's more half and half. The dub actor for Seijiro was on point (although the localized script made his dialogue a bit too stern), but Kenshin's dub voice struggles to measure up, as he's trying to perform his lines while trying to sound younger due to Kenshin's age in the flashback.
@daywalker3068
The way people pronounced Kenshin in the dub made me cringe so hard
@randomasiankid017
Hiko was right all along

@UkranianStallion
J. Ip nicely said. Well done
@equillibria
Beautifully put.
@Jasonmoofang
I cannot help replying. You made some good points, but I think you have underestimated the strength of Kenshin's position in the last resort. Kenshin may have been young an inexperienced choosing to do what he did, but I would argue that he never really recanted, and much the rest of the series bore out the wisdom of his choice (while of course never flinching with expressing also the dangers of it).
The fundamental difference between Seijiro and Kenshin in this confrontation, I would say, is where their hearts are. Seijiro's was in the self, the practitioner of the sword. He was thinking about what a practitioner of the sword ought to do, and so what you said about the moral weight of killing applies - that is the swordsman philosophizing about what a swordsman should do with his power. Kenshin's was in the people, his overriding concern was that people were suffering and in the urgency of alleviating or reducing it by any means possible. The soul of the swordsman may be twisted and blackened if that is what it took. I would argue that Kenshin was never so shallow as to do his battousai work thinking rosily that he was working for the greater good. That was a theory he entrusted to his superior, while he committed himself to merely becoming a killing machine. This was the destruction of the swordsman's soul that Seijiro's wisdom predicted, and Kenshin, to his credit, was willing to pay this price for his philosophy.
Tomoe rescued Kenshin from fully sacrificing his humanity to his work, and so he was able to as you say try to atone in a new life of pacifism - but even then he never truly gives up his philosophy. Kenshin teetering on the edge of returning to bloodshed if that is what it takes to save lives is perhaps the major theme of the series. He never "learned his lesson" - he keeps on insistently striding into battle against powerful evil men because he cannot allow them the suffering they inflict, knowing full well his humanity and sanity is on the line every time. And just like Tomoe first did, the relationships he forged with the other main characters in the series kept him human in his sacrificial campaigns.
Also, I might as well note here that the translator (though doing a phenomenal job) took some liberty with the translation. Notably where the subtitles said "I want to be their savior!", that is a line that one might take to betray some ambitions of grandeur on Kenshin's part. However, the literal translation from the japanese words is actually a more innocuous "I want to protect them with these hands".
