We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
-Ben Sweetland "Ben Sweetlan"
We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you don't like the path your life has taken, choose another.

"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
All know the way; few actually walk it.
-Bodhidharma
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.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
