Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson "Ralph Waldo Emerson"
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge burns to ashes all karma. Nothing in this world purifies like spiritual wisdom. It is the perfection achieved in time through the path of yoga, the path which leads to the Self within.
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.
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.
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organised; nor should any organisation be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path.
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
All of us have a path to follow and the path begins on earth.
-Richard Matheson
"What Dreams May Come"
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.
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
-John D. Rockfeller
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
