The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
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.
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.
As men approach Me, so I receive them. All paths, Arjuna, lead to Me.
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.
We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
