The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.

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.
All know the way; few actually walk it.
-Bodhidharma
We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
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.
All of us have a path to follow and the path begins on earth.
-Richard Matheson
"What Dreams May Come"
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.
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.
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.

"Bully at Ambush Corner"
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.
