Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quotations
Path
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
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
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"
If you don't like the path your life has taken, choose another.
-Robert G. DeMers
"The Iceman"
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.
-Carl Japikse
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.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagawvad Gita 4.37-38"
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"
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.
-Satchidananda Saraswati "Swami Satchidananda"
