Man learns through experience, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.
On the divine path, there is no chance of failure; it is the path of love.
If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.
-Frank A. Clark
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.
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.
All know the way; few actually walk it.
-Bodhidharma
Who knows this truly, and who will now declare it, what paths lead together to the gods? Only their lowest aspects of existence are seen, who exist on supreme, mystical planes.
If you don't like the path your life has taken, choose another.
-Robert G. DeMers
"The Iceman"
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Carl Japikse
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
-Paulo Coelho
