We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
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.
On the divine path, there is no chance of failure; it is the path of love.
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.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk 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.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
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.
