“The real thing is not a path. The real thing is the authenticity of the seeker.
Let me emphasize this. You can travel on any path, and if you are sincere and
authentic, you will reach your destination. Some paths may be difficult, some may
be more comfortable, some may have greenery on all sides, and some may have you
moving through deserts, and yet if you are sincere and honest with the yearnings of
your Soul – if you are authentic to the urgings of your conscience – if you are true
to the summons of your True Self, then every path will lead you to your goal. So it
simply can be reduced to one thing: that authenticity of Soul-Self is the path. And
thus the opposite is also true: that no matter what path you choose, if you do not
authentically reflect your Soul-Self, then you will not get anywhere. It is your
authenticity ad your authenticity alone that brings you back home, nothing else
matters. Imitation cannot lead you anywhere. Imitation means that the ideal comes
from elsewhere, and as such is not happening within you. You have a seed within
you; and if you are only imitating others that seed will remain dormant.”
