To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
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.
