Choose your own way, to suit your own taste, temperament and capacity. There’s no need to criticise or condemn those who follow a different path. Spiritual hunger is the same in all – the ‘food’ to satisfy their hunger may vary.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
When you travel towards your objective, be sure to pay attention to the path. The path teaches us the best way to arrive and enriches us while we are travelling along it.
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Carl Japikse
Any path is only a path, and there is no affront to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
To have a body is to suffer. Those who understand this, detach themselves from all that exists and stop imagining or seeking anything. The sutras say, “To seek is to suffer. To seek nothing is bliss.” When you seek nothing, you’re on the Path.
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
-Paulo Coelho
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Robert R. Leichtman
