Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own first.
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.
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.
No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.
The Eightfold Path: Right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right contemplation.
