Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Quotations
Path
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"
We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
-Ben Sweetland "Ben Sweetlan"
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"
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.
-Carlos Castaneda "Carlos Castaneda"
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
-John D. Rockfeller
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"
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.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
If you don't like the path your life has taken, choose another.
-Robert G. DeMers
"The Iceman"
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"
