Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quotations
Path
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.
-Vedas "Rig Veda"
All know the way; few actually walk it.
-Bodhidharma
On the divine path, there is no chance of failure; it is the path of love.
-Vedas "Atharva Veda"
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
God can be realised through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
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.
-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
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.
-Bodhidharma "Bodhidharma"
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
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.
