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.
As men approach Me, so I receive them. All paths, Arjuna, lead to Me.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
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.
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.
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.
On the divine path, there is no chance of failure; it is the path of love.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
The person who tries to stand still on the path will find that it has vanished.
-Carl Japikse
