You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
-Gautama Buddha "Gautama Buddha"
You cannot travel the path until you have become the path itself.
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.
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.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk 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.
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.
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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.
Often the right path is the one that may be hardest for you to follow. But the hard path is also the one that will make you grow as a human being.
