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
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
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.
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.
All know the way; few actually walk it.
-Bodhidharma
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Robert R. Leichtman
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk 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
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
-John D. Rockfeller
